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?
