Subject: Floppy access by dd fails for 2.6.26-rc2 to final, possibly even earlier
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 08:41:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200807220841.27796.gene.heskett@gmail.com> (raw)
Greetings;
I just been advised by private email that I an not the only one who has lost the
use of his floppy drive via dd. The corresponder noted that he had a copy of
DSL with a 2.4.something kernel, and his drive worked flawlessly while booted
to DSL.
So now there are at least 2 floppy users wandering in the wilderness looking for
water. We need it to support 20 year old computers without a TCP stack or
network cards.
Who is the floppy.c maintainer these days?

Cheers, Gene
