Hi,
I've got an LS-120 ide floppy drive.
1) For it to work I have to leave a disk
inserted when I boot the pc, otherwise
the disc and partX devices aren't created.
It seems to be treated as a non-removeable
hard drive ?
2) My way around the problem is to put
append="hdc=ide-scsi" into my lilo.conf
to use scsi emulation, then it gets treated
more like my usb Zip-100 drive.
The devices /dev/ide/fd don't seem to be
created as described in
/usr/src/linux/Docs/filesystems/devfsd
In 1) links appear in /dev/ide/hd.
In 2) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/etc,
with dynamic links in /dev/discs/disc1,
+disc, generic are always there, partXs are
created when a disc is inserted (as expected).
You can probably tell I'm not a programmer,
just a user, so I could be missing something
in the conf file, etc ?
Cheers,
Colin Tree
