Yes, NEC never guarenteed that it would work or continue to work. There were
a few chips used in PCs (Not fully 765 compatable) that were questionable
around this.
I also tried it and found it worked. However IBM 3740 and later Floppy specs
had reasons for not using 0th sector. As they say by spec it's wrong
otherwise it works.
