NAME
fl - console floppy interface
DESCRIPTION
This is a simple interface to the DEC RX01 floppy disk unit, which is part of the console LSI-11 subsystem for VAX-11/780's. Access is given to the entire floppy consisting of 77 tracks of 26 sectors of 128 bytes.

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 ``raw'' disk interfaces.

FILES
/dev/floppy
SEE ALSO
arff(8V)
DIAGNOSTICS
None.
BUGS
Multiple console floppies are not supported.

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.
