Yep, it's been broken for 10 years too. No, it's not a CVE. The problem is that QEMU doesn't have a configuration option for the type of floppy drive you want. It determines it based on the diskette you insert at boot.
If you don't insert one, it always chooses a 1.44MB type. I want to change the default to a 2.88MB type and users to switch back and forth between 2.88 and 1.44MB diskettes. Shuffle things around a bit to make this magic happen. This is just an RFC, for many reasons, mostly the 2.4 timeframe, my unfamiliarity with the qdev property system, uncertainty over where/how I added this properties, uncertainty over whether or not READ_ID is really expected to work without a floppy disk or not (which impacts if fdc-test is broken or not!) and other sloppy design issues.
