Collins, Co. Lines: 18 I suspect you might be using the CS80/SS80 drivers. The two built-in floppy drives use a special block/character driver. It has been a long time since I had a 9836 (236), and I don't remember the details. It is definitely NOT drivers c4 and b0, which are for CS80 (HPIB) drives. My /etc/mkdev, which has an entry for "Internal flexible discs", leads me to believe this might work: mknod /dev/fd.0 b 1 0 # Right Block mknod /dev/fd.1 b 1 1 # Left Block mknod /dev/rfd.0 c 6 0 # Right Character mknod /dev/rfd.1 c 6 1 # Left Character You might want to look at /etc/conf/conf.c, at the bdevsw[] and cdevsw[] entries for some clues. My 5.3 version, which doesn't support the 236, has "nodev" for driver b1 and c6, so they are plausible. Perry Scott
