If someone has some sample code for > accessing the floppy disk controller, that would be awesome. The various free Unixes have their own floppy disk drivers, which could give you somewhere to start. Try: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/fdc/ http://lxr.linux.no/source/drivers/block/floppy.c http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/usr/src/uts/common/io/fdc.c FreeDOS-32 has its own floppy disk driver too, which might be easier to follow, but won't have had the same level of testing as the drivers above: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/freedos-32/fd32/modules/floppy/ -- Carey Evans
