[Apologies for duplicates. Some people have shown interest in the past,
asked about the driver and I thought it would be polite to send them an
update on this.]
Support for USB floppy drives has been added to the umass driver. Thanks
to Jim Blackson at Y-E Data for providing the floppy drive. The support
will be committed to current as soon as code freeze is over. This is
_not_ for the faint of heart. It might crash your machine in various
ways.
To make it work you will have to cvsup to tonight's version of
FreeBSD-CURRENT (4.0-RC as of 2000/03/02 02:00) and apply the patch
available from
http://www.etla.net/~n_hibma/usb/
The following commands seem to work:
camcontrol rescan 0
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=10k count=100
disklabel -r -w da0 fd1440
newfs /dev/da0
Keep me posted on the results or any problems you have.
Nick
