I recently installed a 3.5" 720K/1.44MB floppy drive as the second floppy
in a AT&T 6386WGS and had to obtain the major/minor
device drivers from AT&T. For those of you who may need
this info in the future, here it is:
Major Minor Device Comments
1 101 /dev/rdsk/f1d3d # 720K character device
1 97 /dev/rdsk/f1d3dt # 720K character double sided
1 101 /dev/dsk/f1d3d # 720K block device
1 97 /dev/dsk/f1d3dt # 720K block device double sided
1 117 /dev/rdsk/f1h3d # 1.44M character device
1 113 /dev/rdsk/f1h3dt # 1.44M character double sided
1 117 /dev/dsk/f1h3d # 1.44M block device
1 113 /dev/dsk/f1h3dt # 1.44M block device
If you are going to be accessing this drive through Simul-task (vpix)
then you need to add the following line(s) to /usr/vpix/defaults/vpix.cnf:
; 720K B: Drive
B /dev/rdsk/f1d3dt
; 1.44M H: Drive
H /dev/rdsk/f1h3dt
Note: the above major/minor devices are only for the second floppy,
or B drive under MESS-DOS. If anyone has any info on other device
