I'm not sure whether i've still got a copy of his work at all... In addition to a general cleanup, there are exactly two items on the wishlist for a floppy driver rewrite, and i wouldn't consider the task successful unless those goald have been met: support for 2.88 MB floppies, as rare as they might be, but they should be supported, and an automatic format detection, something even my CP/M floppy driver already had. :) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
