>Description:
The 3.1 Release Notes talk about the Floppy Tape interface, but IIRC,
it has been removed.

I cannot find any references for it in LINT, except for
these lines (which should probably be removed also):

...

# Standard floppy disk controllers and floppy tapes: `fdc', `fd', and `ft'

...

# Activate this line instead of the fdc0 line above if you happen to
# have an Insight floppy tape.  Probing them proved to be dangerous
# for people with floppy disks only, so it's "hidden" behind a flag:
#controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio flags 1 irq 6 drq 2

...

Also, it could be useful to list Intel EtherExpress 100+, to avoid
FAQs.


>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Edit LINT, release/text/HARDWARE.TXT, release/text/RELNOTES.TXT, and
possibly others.
