The MAKEDEV has such lines as:
# ln -f ${name}${unit}.1200 ${name}${unit}96
# ln -f r${name}${unit}.1200 r${name}${unit}96
# ln -f ${name}${unit}.1200 ${name}${unit}96ds15
# ln -f r${name}${unit}.1200 r${name}${unit}96ds15
# ln -f ${name}${unit}.1200 ${name}${unit}135ds15
# ln -f r${name}${unit}.1200 r${name}${unit}135ds15
for floppy disk device. I have questions about these lines.
1. What is meanings of the name? I cannot understand meanings of
`96', `96ds15' and `135ds15'.
2. Why they are commented out?
3. Are these entries mandatory for all floppy disk devices? (Should I
make such lines when I add new mode for floppy disk?)
Thanks.
