Actually, there's slight a bit more of work. It came to mind later (and Bruce also reminded me of it) that the current floppy disk code relies heavily on the CMOS drive type, which is alas only defined for the floppy disk drives 0 and 1. If you're realling taking care for adding more floppy drives, i'm glad to improve the driver so it will be able to handle it. Apparently nobody required this by now, and it's always hard to write code nobody is going to use. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
