NAME
       fl - console floppy interface

DESCRIPTION
       This  is  a simple interface to the DEC RX01 floppy disk unit, which is
       part of the console LSI-11 subsystem for VAX-11/780’s.  Access is given
       to  the  entire  floppy  consisting  of  77 tracks of 26 sectors of 128
       bytes.

       All i/o is raw; the seek addresses in raw transfers should be a  multi‐
       ple  of 128 bytes and a multiple of 128 bytes should be transferred, as
       in other ‘‘raw’’ disk interfaces.

FILES
       /dev/floppy

SEE ALSO
       arff(8V)

DIAGNOSTICS
       None.

BUGS
       Multiple console floppies are not supported.

       If a write is given with a count not a multiple of 128 bytes  then  the
       trailing portion of the last sector will be zeroed.
