Can someone with access to a DS10 please verify if it works on -stable? (I'm not sure, maybe a test on a DS20 is also valid) I tried fdformat -> gives all sorts of errors on known-good media I tried tar tf -> pretends floppy is empty (it is not) I tried tar cf -> appears to work, but reading the disk on another system produces errors like > format on x86 box Format 1440K floppy `/dev/fd0'? (y/n): y Processing VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV done. > tar cf /dev/fd0 /etc/*.conf on DS10 freebie# tar tf /dev/fd0 X11/app-defaults/Bitmap-color X11/app-defaults/Beforelight tar: Skipping to next file header...

X11/app-defaults/Bitmap-color X11/app-defaults/Beforelight etc Note this is what was on the floppy *before* the fdformat, so it appears the DS10 did not write anything sensible. Hardware looks OK, I successfully booted an FreeBSD install floppy from SRM. I'll see if I can borrow a T64 CD set on monday to double-check the hw.
