I occasionally need to read 720K dos floppies.
The -current driver (sys/arch/i386/isa/fd.c) sez:
! { 9,2,0xFF,0x2A,80,1440,1,0 }, /* 720K drive. PROBABLY WRONG */
.. and it is, because 720K floppies are double sided.
Anyone have the right collection of "magic numbers"? (yes, I know the
driver doesn't auto-detect the density; this can be *patched* around).
The ones I can't derive from a description of the drive info are the
"datalen", "gap", and "transfer speed code".
Thanks in advance..
- Bill
