I just tested and shipped a system with a Colorado 250 in it and it worked just fine (I configed the kernel with the flags line): controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio flags 0x1 irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
