Hi, From dmesg: fdc0: <floppy drive controller> port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq6 drq 2 on acpi0 fdc0: [FAST] fd0: <1440-KB 3,5" drive> on fdc0 drive0 As you can see, it's usual floppy drive for 3.5". After I'd bought that notbook, I installed FreeBSD 5.4 and used floppy quite often, the speed was about ten times faster!!!! To be sure that the same diskette is good I've dd'ed it on my desktop, the stats is: 2880+0 records in 2880+0 records out 1474560 bytes transferred in 48.589449 secs (30347 bytes/sec) So, it's a matter of some configuration hints (let's exclude hardware for a while). I know that it's not possible to find a solution for my strange problem not having my notebook. So I'll be thankful if you suggest some checklist to follow to be sure it's configured properly... or not properly :-) It might include kernel options, device.hints, etc. Regards, Muxas
