33.Sh NAME
34.Nm fdc
35.Nd Sun SPARCstation i82072 or i82077 floppy disk controller driver
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "fdc0 at sbus0" Pq SBus based machines
38.Cd "fdc0 at ebus0" Pq PCI based machines
39.Cd "fd* at fdc0"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41This is the driver for the built-in floppy disk drive run by the
42.Tn Intel
43i82072 or i82077 controller chip found on the SPARCstation desktop
44systems, and other
45.Tn SPARC
46systems.
47.Pp
48Bits
49.Bq 0-3
50of the minor device number of the special files referring to this
51device encode the floppy density as follows:
52.Bl -tag -width indent -offset indent
53.It 0
543.5'' 1.44MB floppy diskettes.
55.It 1
563.5'' 720KB floppy diskettes.
57.It 2
583.5'' 360KB floppy diskettes.
59.It 3
603.5'' 1.2MB/NEC Japanese format floppy diskettes.
61.El
62.Sh FORMATTING
63The driver supports floppy disk formatting using the interfaces in
64.In sys/fdio.h :
65.Pp
66.Bl -tag -width FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK -compact
67.It Dv FDIOCGETFORMAT Fa struct fdformat_parms
68Fetch current formatting parameters.
69This gets the default parameters
70for the open device if no parameters have been set during the session.
71.Pp
72.It Dv FDIOCSETFORMAT Fa struct fdformat_parms
73Set formatting parameters.
74The driver saves this state and it persists while the device is open.
75.Pp
76.It Dv FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK Fa struct fdformat_cmd
77Format a track on the medium.
78If this call returns
79.Er EINVAL ,
80the track formatting parameters were out of range for the medium.
81If it returns
82.Er EIO ,
83there was a medium error while formatting the track.
84.Pp
85.It Dv FDIOCSETOPTS Fa int
86Set driver options which persist until the device is closed.
87The
88options should be the logical OR of the desired values below:
89.Pp
90.Bl -tag -width FDOPT_NORETRY -compact
91.It Dv FDOPT_NORETRY
92Do not retry operations on failure
93.It Dv FDOPT_SILENT
94Do not print error messages to the console
95.El
96.Pp
97.It Dv FDIOCGETOPTS Fa int
98Fetch drive options.
99.El
100.Pp
101A typical use of the formatting facilities would be to open the device,
102call
103.Dv FDIOCGETFORMAT
104to fetch the current format parameters, perhaps
105change a parameter or two, display the formatting details to the user,
106and then call
107.Dv FDIOCSETFORMAT
108followed by a series of calls to
109.Dv FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK .
110.Sh SEE ALSO
111.Xr eject 1 ,
112.Xr fdformat 1
113.Sh HISTORY
114The
115.Nm
116driver first appeared in
117.Nx 4.0 .
118.Sh BUGS
119The ebus attachment does not yet work.
