All: Can anyone provide some details about why the TEAC floppy disk drives (scsi) in the 9000 series workstations are not supported in the hppa port? Is it due to a lack of documentation, missing sd support for floppy drives, or lack of interest in floppy devices in general (or some combination of the three)? I realize floppy drives are antiquated and scsi floppy drives are an enigma, but the application I'd like to run on these machines requires floppy support, which worked fine under HP-UX. In an attempt investigate further, I installed MKLinux on a 715, and the scsi floppy drive was supported through some combination of the MACH kernel and it's hosted Linux kernel. I've looked through the MKLinux source code, and it appears that the MACH scsi driver had some support for flexible disk drives (which I assume is the floppy drive), but I'm uncertain if this is the only missing piece to the puzzle. If anyone has any additional info/insight, I'd really appreciated it.
