Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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.
