Message-ID: <20020601001532.GA18671@Ado.student.utwente.nl> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.28i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, Is anybody actively maintaining the Linux floppy driver? I tried to mail Alain Knaff a question but he does not seem to respond. In a momentary lapse of reason I decided to improve the floppy support of the Linux adfs driver for which I have to use Alain's zeroBased.patch to be able to read sector 0 of a floppy. I was wondering whether this patch (or similar functionality) will be included in the official kernel tree. This would mean I could send my modifications to the adfs driver to its maintainer (Russell King) for inclusion in the official source. Arjan
