Thanks for adding basic support of 86F diskimages.
The advantage of the 86F format is it can hold many keydisk protection scheme.
So we can play keydisk protected games on emulators, no need to crack them.
I hope fully support will arrive in the near future.
v1.7.1 has been released! -> https://github.com/dividebysandwich/rust-dos/ … ases/tag/v1.7.1
Game manual and virtual joystick on the VR desk
The 3D scene now has things on the desk to pick up with a VR controller's grip button:
* The manual of the game that runs (from its profile's manuals and extras) lies on the desk as a booklet. Pick it up and turn its pages with the thumbstick of the hand holding it; with several manuals, **A/X** picks the next. Put it down and it settles on what is below it.
* A joystick: hold it by its stick and the stick follows your hand as the game port's joystick, with the trigger and A/X as its buttons. Hold it by its base to move it somewhere else on the desk.
Scenes of your own place the manual with an empty named `manual`, or bring their own booklet model with `manual_page_left` and `manual_page_right` pages (see `docs/vr.md`). A scene without one gets the manual anyway.
Dialup modem noises intensify
Video: https://youtu.be/XYpgWRVPmP8
Dialing out now sounds just like in the good old days: the modem's speaker plays the dial tone, the number as touch tones (`ATDT`) or pulse clicks (`ATDP`), the other end ringing, and a real modem's handshake, and CONNECT appears when the handshake ends.
* `ATM0` turns the speaker off, `ATM3` keeps it quiet while dialing, and `ATL0`..`ATL3` set its volume.
* The speaker has its own `modem` volume in the mixer.
* A key during the dialing or the handshake ends the call, as on a real modem.
Settings can now be opened with the mouse
Hold the **right mouse button for three seconds** without moving the mouse and the settings window opens, for a PC on a TV, a remote, or a keyboard with no F12 (#78). The program still sees the press, and moving the mouse while holding the button keeps it an ordinary press. Turn it off with `mouse_menu_hold=false` for a game that has you hold the right button still.
Settings in the browser's address
The web version takes any `rust-dos.conf` setting in its address as `?section.key=value`, for that visit only:
?emulator.cycles=3000&sound.sbtype=sb2
The browser's saved settings stay as they are, and a game profile's own settings still win over them.

Other changes and fixes
* Fixed PIT channel 2 counting while its gate is low, which made MS-Kermit hang over and over. The counter now stops and restarts with the gate as on the 8253, for programs that time delay loops with it.
* Video recordings (Ctrl+F7) go on while the machine stands still, with the settings window or the pause screen in the picture and silence in the sound, instead of skipping that time.
* On Windows, starting Rust-DOS from Explorer or a shortcut no longer opens an empty console window next to it. Started from a terminal, it still prints there.
* Kept host folder searches are dropped after a state load and after a shared disk is copied back, so a search never lists files that are gone.
