40.Sh NAME
41.Nm fdc
42.Nd Sun SPARCstation i82072 or i82077 floppy disk controller driver
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "fdc0 at sbus0" Pq SBus based machines
45.Cd "fdc0 at ebus0" Pq PCI based machines
46.Cd "fd* at fdc0"
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48This is the driver for the built-in floppy disk drive run by the
49.Tn Intel
50i82072 or i82077 controller chip found on the SPARCstation desktop
51systems, and other
52.Tn SPARC
53systems.
54.Pp
55Bits
56.Bq 0-3
57of the minor device number of the special files referring to this
58device encode the floppy density as follows:
59.Bl -tag -width indent -offset indent
60.It 0
613.5'' 1.44MB floppy diskettes.
62.It 1
633.5'' 720KB floppy diskettes.
64.It 2
653.5'' 360KB floppy diskettes.
66.It 3
673.5'' 1.2MB/NEC Japanese format floppy diskettes.
68.El
69.Sh FORMATTING
70The driver supports floppy disk formatting using the interfaces in
71.Aq Pa sys/fdio.h :
72.Pp
73.Bl -tag -width FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK -compact
74.It Dv FDIOCGETFORMAT Fa struct fdformat_parms
75Fetch current formatting parameters.
76This gets the default parameters
77for the open device if no parameters have been set during the session.
78.Pp
79.It Dv FDIOCSETFORMAT Fa struct fdformat_parms
80Set formatting parameters.
81The driver saves this state and it persists while the device is open.
82.Pp
83.It Dv FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK Fa struct fdformat_cmd
84Format a track on the medium.
85If this call returns
86.Er EINVAL ,
87the track formatting parameters were out of range for the medium.
88If it returns
89.Er EIO ,
90there was a medium error while formatting the track.
91.Pp
92.It Dv FDIOCSETOPTS Fa int
93Set driver options which persist until the device is closed.
94The
95options should be the logical OR of the desired values below:
96.Pp
97.Bl -tag -width FDOPT_NORETRY -compact
98.It Dv FDOPT_NORETRY
99Do not retry operations on failure
100.It Dv FDOPT_SILENT
101Do not print error messages to the console
102.El
103.Pp
104.It Dv FDIOCGETOPTS Fa int
105Fetch drive options.
106.El
107.Pp
108A typical use of the formatting facilities would be to open the device,
109call
110.Dv FDIOCGETFORMAT
111to fetch the current format parameters, perhaps
112change a parameter or two, display the formatting details to the user,
113and then call
114.Dv FDIOCSETFORMAT
115followed by a series of calls to
116.Dv FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK .
117.Sh SEE ALSO
118.Xr eject 1 ,
119.Xr fdformat 1
120.Sh HISTORY
121The
122.Nm
123driver first appeared in
124.Nx 4.0 .
125.Sh BUGS
126The ebus attachment does not yet work.
