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. -----------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ KATO Takenori <kato@ganko.eps.nagoya-u.ac.jp> | FreeBSD | Dept. Earth Planet.
