36.Nd Sun SPARCstation i82072 or i82077 floppy disk controller driver
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Cd "fdc0 at mainbus0" Pq sun4c
39.Cd "fdc0 at obio0" Pq sun4m
40.Cd "fd* at fdc0"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42This is the driver for the built-in floppy disk drive run by the
43.Tn Intel
44i82072 or i82077 controller chip found on the SPARCstation desktop
45systems, and other
46.Tn SPARC
47systems.
48.Pp
49Bits
50.Bq 0-3
51of the minor device number of the special files referring to this
52device encode the floppy density as follows:
53.Bl -tag -width indent -offset indent
54.It 0
553.5'' 1.44MB floppy diskettes.
56.It 1
573.5'' 720KB floppy diskettes.
58.It 2
593.5'' 360KB floppy diskettes.
60.It 3
613.5'' 1.2MB/NEC Japanese format floppy diskettes.
62.El
63.Sh FORMATTING
64The driver supports floppy disk formatting using the interfaces in
65.In sys/fdio.h :
66.Pp
67.Bl -tag -width FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK -compact
68.It Dv FDIOCGETFORMAT Fa struct fdformat_parms
69Fetch current formatting parameters.
70This gets the default parameters
71for the open device if no parameters have been set during the session.
72.Pp
73.It Dv FDIOCSETFORMAT Fa struct fdformat_parms
74Set formatting parameters.
75The driver saves this state and it persists while the device is open.
76.Pp
77.It Dv FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK Fa struct fdformat_cmd
78Format a track on the medium.
79If this call returns
80.Er EINVAL ,
81the track formatting parameters were out of range for the medium.
82If it returns
83.Er EIO ,
84there was a medium error while formatting the track.
85.Pp
86.It Dv FDIOCSETOPTS Fa int
87Set driver options which persist until the device is closed.
88The
89options should be the logical OR of the desired values below:
90.Pp
91.Bl -tag -width FDOPT_NORETRY -compact
92.It Dv FDOPT_NORETRY
93Do not retry operations on failure
94.It Dv FDOPT_SILENT
95Do not print error messages to the console
96.El
97.Pp
98.It Dv FDIOCGETOPTS Fa int
99Fetch drive options.
100.El
101.Pp
102A typical use of the formatting facilities would be to open the device,
103call
104.Dv FDIOCGETFORMAT
105to fetch the current format parameters, perhaps
106change a parameter or two, display the formatting details to the user,
107and then call
108.Dv FDIOCSETFORMAT
109followed by a series of calls to
110.Dv FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK .

114.Sh HISTORY
115The
116.Nm
117formatting support appeared in
118.Nx 1.3 .
