must be

controller	fdc0	at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 flags "0x1" vector fdintr

by now.


I'll try to make this less restrictive, so this flag will no longer be
needed for the ``more common'' tape drives.  (It is needed for things
like an Insight tape that require the motor lines to be enabled, and
hence clash with connected diskette drives even during a false probe.)

Yes, i know that the above fact is not documented in LINT, but there's
already an open problem report for it (kern/40), so i'll close this
one.  (At least, you see: i sometimes happen to know which PR's are
still open. :)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
