- Hi all:
-
- what you complain of ain't gotta problem of MTOOLS. It's the stupid
- fd driver. For now, it will only handle HD drives, regardless of
- your CMOS (except you'd disable the floppy:-(().
- I've dealt with it in making some floppy formatter work, and i decided
- to redesign the whole driver. Obviously, this would take some weeks.
- The goals are: a format call, automatic format detection, change line
- support, quite more reliable. (If you don't believe that the current
- driver is unreliable: try operating on two floppies at the same time.
- Don't do this with worthful data!)
