I recently posted that I am trying to get the Smarty SmartDiskette to
work...

I think I have identified the problem - the information is stored on
sectors 1, 100 and 200, but there are no sectors in between (actually,
there is no rotating surface either, so "in between" is a bit stupid).

Using fdcontrol I can set the number of sectors to 200, and dd will
attempt to read 512 bytes from wherever, but the driver always tries to
read 4 sectors at a time.

Can anyone point me to the source file where I can change this value
(actually bp->b_bcount for fdstrategy() ).

Any help would be appreciated.
