I'm running FreeBSD 4.0-Current on a Sony Z505S. The last time I cvsuped
and recompiled was May 22. I have no problems with my floppy.
relevant dmesg output:
usb0: <Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4) USB controller> on uhci0
usb0: USB revision 1.0
uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
umass0: Y-E DATA FlashBuster-U, rev 1.00/1.14, addr 2
da0 at umass-sim32 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <Y-E DATA USB-FDU 1.14> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 20KB/s transfers
da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present
On a completely different note: any one looking to add some memory to
their notebook, check out www.crucial.com
I ordered a 128MB SODIMM for my Z505S (for a total of 192MB) for
$113.39 US (plus $15 US for Fedex to Canada). I ordered it Friday morning,
the emailed me a shipping confirmation by Friday evening and Fedex was at
my door Monday morning. Sorry to sound like a commercial, but I am a very
satisfied customer.
