i used mtools version 4.0.18 to create an floppy image by command like
mformat -t 80 -h 1 -s 9  -C B:
The created floppy image contains the media descriptor byte with value 
0xf0. But according  to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table
this unique floppy geometry  should be characterised by an media descriptor 
value of 0xF8.

Can somebody explain or fix this behaviour of mtools.

regards
Jörg
