It looks like whatever medium I insert, I’m always getting:
# fdcontrol -F -v /dev/fd0
/dev/fd0: 1200 KB media type
Format: 15,512,0xff,0x1b,80,500,2,0x54,1,0,+mfm,+auto
Sector size: 512
Sectors/track: 15
Heads/cylinder: 2
Cylinders/disk: 80
Transfer rate: 500 kbps
Sector gap: 27
Format gap: 84
Interleave: 1
Side offset: 0
Flags <MFM,AUTO>
#
Inserting a medium which I marked DD-DT (double density double track) at the time I wrote it, gives:
# fdread -d /dev/fd0 -o fd_dump
Reading 80 * 2 * 15 * 512 medium at /dev/fd0

BTW, looks like Ubuntu Linux adopted the FreeBSD floppy interface, did they?
