The driver does not work on a 2300 unless you turn off MMAP I/O in the driver. So, you have to build the driver on a machine after turning off MMAP I/O in the source and then install it. Doug is debugging the driver. I have sent him a 2300. If you install with MMAP I/O turned on, the floppy device is unusable. The floppy works fine with MMAP I/O turned off.
