Checking that floppy is still usable
Hi, Every once in a while I need to use floppy (my old machine has floppy and hard drive only). I have a number of floppies. I'd like to know which floppies are dead and which are still in working condition. I don't need to preserve any data, when testing floppy. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
