Don't 8 inch drives have 77 tracks?

I was waiting to see if there were any P112 users first,

I'll start with the simple and funny one.  If i run FORMAT
it formats all 80 tracks.  :-)  Seems like the definition
for an 8" disk as selected in the config menu is just plain
wrong.  Of course, once it formats all 80 :-) tracks any
attempt to access it, like a DIR, just returns "sector not
found".
