>Description:
Trying to write to the floppy starts the motor but does not write.
Turning FDC_DEBUG and fdc_debug on shows tha BSD is trying to stop the
motor of the floppy (fd0:turnoff) every handfull of secondes.
I've tryed with dd and fdformat.
BSD and RedHat show a different type of CHIP:
BSD NEC 7????
RedHat  8????
At the moment I'm running RedHat 5.2 on the OmniBook
which perfectly writes to floppy.
>How-To-Repeat:
