.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.
