.Sh NAME
|
||||
.Nm fdc
|
||||
.Nd Amiga custom chip floppy disk controller device
|
||||
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.Cd "fdc0 at mainbus0"
|
||||
.Cd "fd* at fdc? unit ?"
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
device driver provides support for the mainboard floppy disk controller and
|
||||
floppy disk drives on Amiga systems.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The driver supports the following floppy diskette formats by using
|
||||
particular partitions:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width -offset indent -compact
|
||||
.It "880KB " "3.5-inch " 11 sectors/track (``Amiga'') (a)
|
||||
.It "1.76MB" "3.5-inch " 22 sectors/track (``Amiga'') (a)
|
||||
.It "880KB " "5.25-inch" 11 sectors/track (``Amiga'') (a)
|
||||
.It "720KB " "3.5-inch " 9 sectors/track (``MS-DOS'') (b)
|
||||
.It "1.44MB" "3.5-inch " 18 sectors/track (``MS-DOS'') (b)
|
||||
.It "720KB " "5.25-inch" 9 sectors/track (``MS-DOS'') (b)
|
||||
.El
|
||||
On systems equipped with floppy disk drives capable of using high-density
|
||||
floppy diskettes,
|
||||
the driver automatically detects whether the inserted floppy diskette is
|
||||
either a double-density or a high-density medium.
|
||||
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
||||
.Bl -diag
|
||||
.It "fdc: unable to allocate dma buffer"
|
||||
The driver found the controller, but was unable to allocate the
|
||||
amount of chip memory required for its DMA buffers.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Sh BUGS
|
||||
In order to detect a floppy disk drive's capability of using high-density
|
||||
media, a high-density diskette has to be inserted for the duration of the
|
||||
autoconfiguration phase of the drive.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver supports neither the
|
||||
.Xr fdformat 1
|
||||
facility nor the
|
||||
.Pa Aq sys/fdio.h
|
||||
interface.
