Reply-To: chrimek@toppoint.de Lines: 14 Hello One short question: the mtools (binary) package works with floppy devices fd0.1440, fd0.1200, fd1.1440 and fd1.1200 . In /dev I find the devices fd[01][abcdefgh]. So what is what? I can link fd0.1440 to any of the existing fd0? devices, but which link is the "correct" one? Is there any table that describes the floppy formats and their mapping to the BSD-devices? -cr -- Christoph Rimek, Kiel, Germany (+49 431 57601) chrimek@toppoint.de
