Hi all

How do you get a RX26 floppy drive to work ??

I have found the fddisk -fmt command so I can format a floppy and I
can do the following


cat testfile > dev/fd0a ; more /dev/fd0a

but how do I acess it as a normal filesystem
when I try to mount it, I get a no valid filesystem
error.

I am trying to use 3M-HD floppy disks.

No documentation came with the RX26.
