OR, get teh changes needed (that were removed) from the fd driver.. (you can find them using the CVS web-pages) and the correct files, and get it all working again.. One of the problems was that there was no-one that the intersecting set of developers who could maintain the driver, and people who had and used these devices was a null set. If this were to change (i.e. there wa an active maintainer, and users) then it could possibly be re-introduced, or at least made into a supported patch set.) julian On Sat, 6 Feb 1999, Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: > In message <XFMail.990206111841.wwoods@cybcon.com>, William Woods writes: > > >I just finished looking in LINT for "ft" the floppy tape device.
