6.3.0 & USB floppy

QNX Newsgroups (Archives) qnx.rtos

Using “io-usb -duhci -dehci” followed by “devb-umass cam pnp” picks up a
NEC USB floppy without a problem (although the device is /dev/hd1).

Since I am creating a boot floppy, I am writing to the raw device “dinit
-f lcc_install.img /dev/hd1”.

Once I have written an image, I remove the floppy and test it on another
machine. After re-inserting the floppy the next attempt to write the
disk fails.

ln -sP /dev/hd1 /dev/fd0

make

ls -l install.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 1163444 Oct 04 11:24 install.img
op dinit -f install.img /dev/fd0

op dd if=Transtoll of=/dev/fd0 ibs=20 obs=1 cbs=20 seek=18 count=1 conv=block 2>/dev/null

Floppy was NOT removed ! Second write OK
