NAME
       floppy - floppy diskette interface

SYNOPSIS
       bind -a #f /dev

       /dev/fd0disk

DESCRIPTION
       The  floppy  diskette  interface	 serves	 a  one-level directory giving
       access to up to four floppy diskette drives.  Each drive is represented
       by a data and control file.  There are no partitions.

       Messages accepted by the ctl file include:

       eject  Eject the floppy, if possible.

       reset  Reset the drive.

       format type
	      Format  the  floppy.   The  type	sets  the  density and type of
	      diskette to be formatted; see format in prep(8).

       A read of the ctl file returns a string describing the form  factor  of
       the diskette, one of 3½DD, 3½HD, 5¼DD, or 5¼HD.
