What is a5TypeDescription?

Gives a free-text description of the storage device, expanding on a5Type — for example, spelling out that it's a '3.5 inch flexible diskette drive using diskettes with a maximum capacity of 1.44MB'. It's required when a5Type is 'other', and otherwise must not contradict the type already reported there.
