Regression specifically, within a 3 day window where there were a bunch of wd_fdc.c changes (May 29-31, 2015)

This seems to also have affected every other X1 floppy game. I've tested tetris and tankent2 and both fail to load, never getting past a similar loading screen.

I think the motor control is wrong for this machine as it seems to expect reads to succeed when the motor is turned off. The regression was likely caused in commit 2f7882fbff8a0fa3877fdfe9217d2ec57d875b1f when the x1 was converted to use wd_fdc from the old wdc fdc code which apparently didn't require the floppy motor to be on to read the disk.
