This release includes support for the newer floppy driver with FreeBSD. As I type this I'm using X/olwm with minicom in one window and a full system save cranking in another, so response time can't be _that_ bad. :-) Here's a piece from the README file: QIC-40/80 floppy tape driver for FreeBSD Steve Gerakines <steve2@genesis.nred.ma.us> 10/30/93 v0.3 : toodlepip! : marc'em. : Pip-a-roon... bud. -- Jesus Monroy Jr jmonroy@netcom.com Zebra Research /386BSD/device-drivers /fd /qic /clock /documentation ___________________________________________________________________________
