floppy: support arbitrary first-sector numbers

2008-10-09T06:56:19Z

The current floppy_struct allows floppies to number sectors starting from 0 or 1. This patch allows arbitrary first-sector numbers - for example, 0xC1 for Amstrad CPC disks. This extends the existing 1-bit field (FD_ZEROBASED, bit 2 of stretch) to 8 bits (FD_SECTMASK, bits 2 to 9). Currently 0x00 denotes a first sector number of 1, and 0x01 denotes a first sector number of 0. We extend this by interpreting FD_SECTMASK as the first sector number with the LSB flipped.

several pointers in ioctl structures marked as userland ones. And that's it with this patchset. A couple more of those and we'll be done with the noise warnings ;-)

[PATCH] Support for floppies whose sectors are numbered from zero instead of one

2004-04-12T06:05:28Z

From: Marcelo Tosatti From: Alain Knaff This patch adds support for floppy disks whose sectors are numbered starting at 0 rather than 1 as usual disks would be. This format is used for some CP/M disks, and also for certain music samplers (such as Ensoniq Ensoniq EPS 16plus). In order to use it, you need an fdutils with the current patch from http://fdutils.linux.lu as well, and then do setfdrpm /dev/fd0 dd zerobased sect=10 or setfdprm /dev/fd0 hd zerobased sect. In addtion, the patch also fixes my email addresses. I no longer use pobox.com.
