it's easy to find that it's /dev/hdd:
for i in /proc/ide/*/media; do grep -q floppy $i && echo $i; done
the problem is when do i search for something else than /dev/fd0? in case
there's no fd0 or must i prompt?
how can i detect that there's no floppy fd0 drive?
can you test that this fails?
perl -e 'sysopen F, "/dev/fd0", 04000 or die'
cu Pixel.
