Hello people, I found a dell 'floppy drive module' (3.5") for my
hw.vendor=Dell Inc. hw.product=Latitude D630 hw.serialno=6P8454J When inserted (before boot) it shows up as (full dmesg below): umass0 at uhub7 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 "Sony USB Floppy Drive" rev 1.10/6.01 addr 3 umass0: using UFI over CBI with CCI scsibus0 at umass0: 2 targets, initiator 0 sd0 at scsibus0 targ 1 lun 0: <SONY, USB-FDU, 6.01> ATAPI 0/direct removable After being puzzled I just tried an existing floppy, disklabel shows a /dev/sd0i slice, mounting worked. But trying to make use of an unformatted floppy I failed: Did the usual ``fdisk -i sd0'', ``disklabel -E sd0'', created ``i'' slice. After ``newfs_msdos /dev/rsd0i'' (which returned darn fast but without obvious error output) the ``i'' slice vanished from disklabel. Unsurprisingly mounting a non existing /dev/sd0i slice failed. fdformat(1) just says ``this is not a floppy''. This is not one of my top priorities, and I am writing this report from memory (apart from dmesg :-). If needed I'll sure reboot with the module attached, re-do the tests and provide full output of commands. What options do I have? What am I getting wrong? Clue bat welcome!
