DESCRIPTION
     This driver provides access to floppy disk drives and QIC40/80
     tapedrives.  In /dev for each floppy device a number of minor devices are
     present. The /dev/fd* devices with trailing alphabetic characters are

>Fix:
	
	(1) Insert \& between ' and the beginning of line,
	or
	(2) Use Sq macro instead of ''.
