1a6bed6863 Long promised major enhancement set for the floppy disk driver:
. The main device node now supports automatic density selection for
  commonly used media densities.  So you can stuff your 1.44 MB and
  720 KB media into your drive and just access /dev/fd0, no questions
  asked.  It's all that easy, isn't it? :)

. Device density handling has been completely overhauled.  The old way
  of hardwired kernel density knowledge is no longer there.  Instead,
  the kernel now implements 16 subdevices per drive.  The first
  subdevice uses automatic density selection, while the remaining 15
  devices are freely programmable.  They can be assigned an arbitrary
  name of the form /dev/fd[:digit]+.[:digit:]{1,4}, where the second
  number is meant to either implement device names that are mnemonic
  for their raw capacity (as it used to be), or they can alternatively
  be created as "anonymous" devices like fd0.1 through fd0.15,
  depending on the taste of the administrator.  After creating a
  subdevice, it is initialized to the maximal native density of the
  respective drive type, so it needs to be customized for other
  densities by using fdcontrol(8).  Pseudo-partition devices (fd0a
  through fd0h) are still supported as symlinks.

. The old hack to use flags 0x1 to always assume drive 0 were there is
  no longer supported; this is now supposed to be done by wiring the
  devices down from the loader via device flags.  On IA32
  architectures, the first two drives are looked up in the CMOS
  configuration records though.  On PCMCIA (i. e., the Y-E Data
  controller of the Toshiba Libretto), a single drive is always
  assumed.

. Other specialities like disabling the FIFO and not probing the drive
  at boot-time are selected by per-controller or per-drive flags, too.

. Unit attentions (media has been changed) are supposed to be detected
  now; density autoselection only occurs after a unit attention.  (Can
  be turned off by a per-drive flag, this will cause each Fdopen() to
  perform the autoselection.)

. FM floppies can be handled now (on controllers that actually support
  it -- not all do these days).

. Fdopen() can be told to avoid density selection by setting
  O_NONBLOCK; this leaves the descriptor in a half-opened state where
  only a few ioctls are accepted.  This is necessary to run fdformat
  on a device that uses automatic density selection (since you cannot
  autoselect on an unformatted medium, obviously).

. Just differentiate between a plain old NE765 and the enhanced chips,
  but don't try more; the existing code was wrong and only misdetected
  the chips anyway.

BUGS and TODOs:

. All documentation update still needs to be done.

. Formatting not-so-standard format yields unpredictable results; i
  have yet to figure out why this happens.  "Standard" formats like
  720 and 1440 KB do work, however.

. rc scripts are needed to setup device nodes with nonstandard
  densities (like the old /dev/fdN.MMM we used to have).

. Obtaining device flags from the kernel environment doesn't work yet,
  thus currently only drives that are present in (IA32) CMOS are
  really detected.  Someone who knows the odds and ends about device
  flags is needed here, i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.

. 2.88 MB still needs to be done.

b794010414 Move out the files from src/sys/isa/ic/ to src/sys/dev/ic/, so they
can be made userland-visible as <dev/ic/...>.  Also, those files are
not supposed to contain any bus-specific details at all, so placing
them under .../isa/ has been a misnomer from the beginning.

The files in src/sys/dev/ic/ have been repo-copied from their old
location (this commit is a forced null commit there to record this
message).

3b1782065f Merge most of FDC_YE into the mainline driver.
o Rename FDC_PCMCIA to FDC_NODMA to allow systems that don't have dma
  for floppies.
o Remove all but two FDC_YE ifdefs.  They aren't needed.
o Move defines for YE_DATAPORT to fdreg.h.

Not fixed:
o The pccard probe/attach.  However, motivated individuals can more
  easily add this now.

This is a merge of changes I've had in my tree for a long time.  These
fixes were tested on my VAIO with its normal floppy.  Please let me
know if I broke anything.

a97c75b7ea * Change include file locations.
* Fix some misunderstandings about the return value of resource_int_value().
* Make it build on alpha (doesn't work yet...)

6875d25465 Back out part 1 of the MCFH that changed $Id$ to $FreeBSD$. We are not
ready for it yet.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

c7a64a0369 Copied over the transfer speed definitions from sys/i386/isa/fdreg.h.
This is needed for having the fdformat program no longer searching
non-public include paths.
Protect the definitions in fdreg.h against double inclusion.

3a2f7427fe Updated driver to the 1.1.5 version:
date: 1994/05/22 12:35:38;  author: joerg;  state: Exp;  lines: +6 -6
First round of floppy changes. Try making `fd' more robust.

New features:
  .  ioctl command for setting the drive type (density etc.); restricted
     to the super-user
  .  ioctl for getting/seting `drive options'; currently only option
     is FDOPT_NORETRY: inhibit the usual retries; used when verifying
     a newly formatted track

Fixes:
  .  function prototypes
  .  made all internal functions `static'
  .  cleaned up & corrected .h files
  .  restructured, to make the chaotic function sequence more rational
  .  compiled with -Wall, and cleared all warnings
  .  introduced a mirror for the (write-only) `digital output register',
     to avoid the current kludge
  .  device probing completed by seeking/recalibrating, and looking
     for track 0 being found
  .  holding the controller down in reset state while it is idle (and
     thus saving allot of headaches)
  .  make requests fail that are not a multiple of the (physical)
     sector size
  .  removed the fixed physical sector size (512 bytes), allowing for any
     size the controller could handle (128/256/512/1024 bytes)
  .  replaced some silly messages
  .  fixed the TRACE* macro usage, debugging reports should be complete
     now again (debugging output is HUGE! though)
  .  removed fd_timeout for SEEK command; seeks are always reported by
     the controller to succeed, since the `success' only refers to the
     controller's idea of success - there is no hardware line to tell about
     the seek end (other than the `track 0' line)
  .  catch SENSEI's that report about a `terminated due to READY changed'
     status - could happen after a controller reset
  .  converted ``hz / <something>'' divide operations to divisors that are
     powers of two, so gcc can optimize them into shifts
  .  write/format operations are checked against a write-protected medium
     now *prior* starting the operation
  .  error reports of `invalid command' and `wrong cylinder' will cause
     shortcuts in the retrier() now
  .  fixed a bug in the retrier() causing bogus block numbers to be reported
  .  fdformat() does care for errors now

Known Bugs:
  .  no attempts have been made (yet) to improve the performance
  .  sometimes, bogus ``seek/recalib failed'' messages are logged; this
     is still a bug in the driver, but it's not harmful since it's
     usually caught by the retrier()

f540b1065a Change all #includes to follow the current Berkeley style. Some of these
``changes'' are actually not changes at all, but CVS sometimes has trouble
telling the difference.

This also includes support for second-directory compiles.  This is not
quite complete yet, as `config' doesn't yet do the right thing.  You can
still make it work trivially, however, by doing the following:

rm /sys/compile
mkdir /usr/obj/sys/compile
ln -s M-. /sys/compile
cd /sys/i386/conf
config MYKERNEL
cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
ln -s /sys @
rm machine
ln -s @/i386/include machine
make depend
make
