I encountered problems with the existing fd driver and after looking at
fd.c decided to write a drop-in replacement.  I can claim neither prior
device-driver experience nor PC floppy drive expertise, but I've found
it works just fine with the couple 1.2M drives I own.  I don't know how
many others are working on fd improvements - I would be happy to pass
along my driver to anyone who asks for a copy (via e-mail).
