Well, it works for me here, but you knew that, of course. :-) > fdc0: <NEC 72065B or clone> at port 0x3f2-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 1 on isa0 > fdc0: FIFO enabled, 8 bytes threshold > fd0: <1440-KB 3.5" drive> on fdc0 drive 0 > fd0: hard error reading fsbn 0 of 0-7 (No status) > fd0: hard error writing fsbn 0 of 0-35 (No status) > fd0: hard error reading fsbn 0 (No status) Do you have any further input? Does fdformat still work? Does "fdread -I 1" return you a sector ID? There weren't any commit so far until yesterday that was supposed to affect the normal operation of floppies at all (only cosmetics and additions). Can you pin it down to which of the changes has broken it for you? Can you compile with options FDC_DEBUG, and then turn on debugging on the drive? In -current, you can do this with "fdcontrol -d1 /dev/fd0", in older versions you need DDB for it. Debugging output is huge and unreadable, please send it to me privately, not to the list. p.s.: If you'd sent me a Cc of this message, i would have responded quicker. I can't afford it to scan this list on a daily basis. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
