.Dd June 5, 1993 .Dt FL 4 vax .Os .Sh NAME .Nm fl .Nd console floppy interface .Sh DESCRIPTION This is a simple interface to the .Tn DEC .Tn RX01 floppy disk unit, which is part of the console .Tn LSI-11 subsystem for .Tn VAX-11/780 Ns s . Access is given to the entire floppy consisting of 77 tracks of 26 sectors of 128 bytes.

p All I/O is raw; the seek addresses in raw transfers should be a multiple of 128 bytes and a multiple of 128 bytes should be transferred, as in other .Dq raw disk interfaces. .Sh FILES l -tag -width /dev/floppy -compact t Pa /dev/floppy .El .Sh DIAGNOSTICS None. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr arff 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver appeared in x 4.0 . .Sh BUGS Multiple console floppies are not supported.

p If a write is given with a count not a multiple of 128 bytes then the trailing portion of the last sector will be zeroed.
