Re: Configuring the floppies

[Ignatios Souvatzis <ignatios%cs.uni-bonn.de@localhost>]

Background (by myself):

  "Real" Commodore high density floppies should be auto-detected... the
  two things C= added to the floppy interface was a) half rotation at
  same data speed for high density floppies and b) a protocol to detect
  the floppy type. To my knowledge (but I might be wrong) our driver
  does, or at least, should use it.

I suggest that you add "options FDDEBUG" to your kernel configuration, 
config YOURKERNELCONFIGURATION, cd ../compile/YOUERKERNELCONFIGURATION, 
rm fd.o and make.

This will add lots of lines beginning with fdcxxxx to the kernel
messages (You will want to keep the normal kernel for normal
use). Please save the full dmesg output, after booting, for later use,
and report the normal floppy attach messages and the lines with
"fdcgettype unit N id 0xYYYYYYYY" in them, with N and YYYYYYYY
replaced by the actual values.
