Hello,

I've set up with mknod a device file for formatting 1743 KB floppies, and 
after I do fdformat /dev/fd0H1743, i can mount them normally.  However after 
unmounting and mounting an 1.44 floppy, unmounting it and remounting the 1743 
floppy, it doesn't recognize it (ie it mounts it but when I try to dir its 
contents, only garbage comes out, along with a message that the FAT is 
corrupted, which is not, because Windows can read it).

I've tried floppycontrol, setfdprm -c /dev/fd0 to see how it recognizes it, 
then mounting it, and when it mounts, it determines the floppy as the first 
type I set with floppycontrol, never as the appropriate type.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

           Rudd-O
