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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Masafumi NAKANE, Keio Univ., Dept. of Environmental Information E-Mail : t94303mn@sfc.keio.ac.jp / max@sfc.wide.ad.jp [URL] : http://www.sfc.keio.ac.jp/~t94303mn
