Hi,

     Today, I made an attempt to use my floppy disk drive for the
first time in two months or so.  (It was working OK last time I used
it.)

     When I tried to fdformat, it says:

# fdformat /dev/rfd0
Format 1440K floppy `/dev/rfd0'? (y/n): y
Processing ----------------------------------------
fdformat: ioctl(FD_FORM): Input/output error

And, on console:

isa_dmastart: channel 2 busy
fd0c: hard error writing fsbn 0 (No status)

Could anyone suggest what may be causing this and what I should check?

     Thanks in advance.
