d66c374f58 Enable the FIFO on enhanced floppy controllers. This reduces the
number of dma overruns/underruns for systems under heavy dma load.
As a side effect, broken enhanced floppy controllers that sometimes
don't detect dma overruns/underruns will give less errors.

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.

dc5df763e4 Peter's work to work around one of the most annoying bugs in the
floppy driver (or in the hardware?).  It turned out to be caused by
spurious interrupts, right after an FDC reset.

Also major cleanup in the low-level structure, there are now functions
performing error-checks for the FDC I/O.

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()

This adds a copyright to the fdc.h file and fixes a bug in re-tries
during writes on a heavily loaded system.
