35PC architecture floppy disk controller driver

38.Cd "controller fdc0 at isa? port" \&"IO_FD1\&" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr
39.Cd "disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0
40.Cd "disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1
41.sp
42For QIC40 and QIC80 tapedrives controlled by the floppy controller:
43.Cd "tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 2
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45This driver provides access to floppy disk drives and QIC40/80 tapedrives.
46In /dev for each floppy device a number of minor devices are present. The
47/dev/fd* devices with trailing alphabetic characters are used to indicate
48'partitions' on the floppy disk. The /dev/fd*.<number> are devices that
49indicate the size of the floppy disk (so: 720kB, 1440kB etc). The latter
50are used for formatting disks using fdformat or for accessing different
51density disks in multidensity drive. Example: 720kB disk in a 1.44Mb drive.
