I'm in the need of reading some data from old 5.25" floppy media (1.2MB).
I lent 2 drives from neighbour institutes at the university and after
having recalled that the
floppies have to be enabled in the BIOS I'm now seeing the fd0 device in
dmesg (FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE).

Cool. My father still has a 5.25" drive in production use - he h
Here's the rundown:
SSDD 8-sector: 160K This is all that was available in MS-DOS 1.0, IIRC.
SSDD 9-sector: 180K
DSDD 8-sector: 320K
DSDD 9-sector: 360K This was the default starting with MS-DOS 2.1, IIRC.
DSHD 15-sector: 1.2G (At least I think it was 15-sector...)

Morning, all;
I'm trying to get a Mitsumi D509V3 1.2MB 5.25" floppy drive
to work on FreeBSD 4.2.6. The operating system reports the drive
is available and definitely makes contact with the drive (visual
confirmation: LED). The issue is during read/write from the
drive. Error message
