Setup: True Drive Emulation, No trap on idle, Wobble=50, RPM=30000, (i.e 300.0).

Insert a .d64 and do OPEN15,8,15,"N0:TEST,TT".
Result: formatting gets stuck on track 1.

Tested on x64sc and xvic win32 build of r32709.

    this is surely a weird one.... apparently if the drive was used before, then formatting works as expected. (i just did load"$" from the fresh d64) shrug

    if you feel like it - doing some binary search on when this behaviour started would help perhaps :)

    this goes a long way back... WinVICE-2.4.6.28040-x86 fails, not sure if i can find any older versions here, have to check my other systems.

    ok, i found out:

    WinVICE-2.4.1.27001-x86 - works
    WinVICE-2.4.4.27473-x86 - fails

    sadly i have no compiles between.

    Related to bug #959, and a 1571 format bug as well.
