 Morning, all;
     I'm trying to get a Mitsumi D509V3 1.2MB 5.25" floppy drive
 to work on FreeBSD 4.2.6. The operating system reports the drive
 is available and definitely makes contact with the drive (visual
 confirmation: LED). The issue is during read/write from the
 drive. Error message:
     fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0 (No status)
 I have the proper drive type set in the BIOS. FreeBSD seems to
 agree according to the dmesg:
     fd0: <1200-KB 5.25" drive> on fdc0 drive 0
 I've been doing simple read tests using:
     dd if=/dev/fd0 count=1 bs=512 | hexdump ;
 Any suggestions?
 Don
