Has anyone put together mods to the floppy driver to handle
11-sector floppies?

In particular, does anyone know how to read 880-KB diskettes
as written on an Amiga (esp. in Amiga's FFS)?

Minor device numbers in FreeBSD do not allow for addition of
a new density, and reference to the 10-sector format as "stressed"
suggests that perhaps the PC architecture won't allow for
an 11-sector format.  Any ideas?
