Re: fd0u1722
Can't you just use /dev/fd0?

Re: fd0u1722
I'm going to guess their docs had a utf screwup...
the "u1722" should have been escaped...
just use "/dev/fd0"

Re: fd0u1722
No matter how hard I try, phrakture always beats me to a post in these forums.
I checked the website and they actually use a higher density floppy drive I'm not aware of, so that device they mention is the one he needs (assuming it uses all 1.7MB).
The use of fd0 descriptor will automatically detect the format. However, as in the past, I too have had to explicitly use one of these 'true' devices to get the proper floppy format.
Add:
1722/1440 3444 21 2 82 0 0x25 0x00 0xDF 0x0Cto '/etc/fdprm', and
Use:
setfdprm -py /dev/fd0u1722 1722/1440before using fdformat in your case.

wow, good call...
i figured the "u1722" was supposed to be "u1722" and escaped as unicode...
