Summary

This allows for hard disk model numbers to be shown in POST and Device Manager without affecting the the main EMU_VERSION_EX or existing disk entries.

Also added additional Packard Bell Tacoma (MSI 6119) BIOS, version 1.72. This BIOS displays the full screen boot logo correctly where all later versions don't.

Checklist

Testing

For testing, 4 new disks were added and tested against Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows 98 SE with no apparent issue. Pre-existing disks also tested and display "3.50" as expected.

Example

hdd.c:

{ .name = "[PIO-2] IBM DSAA-3270", .internal_name = "DSAA3270", .model = "DSAA-3270", .zones = 8, .avg_spt = 268, .heads = 2, .rpm = 4500, .full_stroke_ms = 25, .track_seek_ms = 2.1, .rcache_num_seg = 3, .rcache_seg_size = 32, .max_multiple = 8, .version_ex = "25505120" },
