Hello

Hatari doesn't emulate the ajax controller, but it's pin compatible and 
backward compatible with the old wd1772. It will handle HD floppy.

So, adding ajax compatibility to emutos won't be used for now in Hatari, 
as this chip is not emulated.

Now, it would be interesting to know what tests does emutos to consider 
the drive b: is bogus ? So far, Atari's TOS in falcon mode are working 
with our WD1772 emulation, so emutos should be able to work too with the 
proper tests.
