According to http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/hardware-sparc64.html, "1.44 Mbyte floppy drives" are not supported. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/hardware-sparc64.html doesn't say anything about floppy drives that I could find, but it says that Sun Blade 100 is "Fully Supported." I suppose can infer from that that floppy drive support on the Sun Blade 100 made it in between 5.0 and 5.1. -Chris ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I have been using FBSD since 4.2 and the floppy has been working for me. I think the OP means on his specific hardware, the SunBlade 100. No one would dispute using a floppy on x86 hardware. -- Paul Beard paulbeard [at] mac.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I have Googled and I know that FreeBSD 4.9 cannot utilize the floppy drive as well. You are complete wrong. I have been using FBSD since 4.2 and the floppy has been working for me. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Greg Sent: Monday, December 29, 2003 5:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Does FreeBSD allow one to use the Floppy Drive on a SunBlade 100 ? I am looking for a replacement OS that I can put on my SunBlade 100. Currently I am using Solaris 9. I have looked at Debian and OpenBSD and both OS's cannot use the floppy drive. I have Googled and I know that FreeBSD 4.9 cannot utilize the floppy drive as well as (I think) 5.0. Does 5.1 change this ?
