Subject:   Amiga diskettes on FreeBSD ?
Message-ID:  <199804100233.WAA01154@capecod.net>

I would like to decipher Amiga diskettes, alas the 800KB kind, written in
Amiga's "fast file system" format, and perhaps eventually write also.

The FreeBSD floppy driver refers to 10- and 11-sector diskette tracks
as "stressed formats" and more or less refuses to touch them.  I get
hard error messages; I'm careful to refer to /dev/fd0.720.  There is
no such thing as /dev/fd0.800, and the driver code disapproves.

I'm currently running 2.2.2-RELEASE (yah, could be newer).  Would an
upgrade help?  I'd be willing to help write a user-mode program to
handle an Amiga raw disk image, if only the raw disk could be read.
