The XDFLOPPY.FLT basedev device driver is to support reading of the high
density packed 1.8meg formated diskettes. This was needed to support the
diskette version of OS/2 from v3 on in which all diskettes from diskette
number 3 on was in this packed format.

If you do not need to read these packed 1.8meg diskettes, then you do
not need the SCFLOPPY.FLT basedev device statement. Having it only takes
up a little virtual memory that gets swapped out.
