Hi there,

Just having installed a 2.88Mb floppy drive in one of my axp boxes
I wonder if FreeBSD can do 2.88Mb floppy disks. From the looks
of the contents of /sys/i386/isa/fd.c:

static struct fd_type fd_types[NUMTYPES] =
{
{ 21,2,0xFF,0x04,82,3444,1,FDC_500KBPS,2,0x0C,2 }, /* 1.72M in HD 3.5in */
{ 18,2,0xFF,0x1B,82,2952,1,FDC_500KBPS,2,0x6C,1 }, /* 1.48M in HD 3.5in */
{ 18,2,0xFF,0x1B,80,2880,1,FDC_500KBPS,2,0x6C,1 }, /* 1.44M in HD 3.5in */

it appears it cannot.

Is this true? Is there anything that stops one from adding an appropriate
line to this struct? And to dev/MAKEDEV of course? 

TIA
Wilko
