Re: How do I format a 1.44Mb floppy disk in a laser servo drive?

Did you look at the man page for fdformat?

Because there's a clue right down at the bottom of the page.

Hmmm, be more explicit. I still don't know what you are talking about. I guess
maybe you mean setfdparm. Remember this is not a real floppy drive, but an
LS120. Will that work on an LS120 drive? I have not installed that package,
but I will, if I need it. What if I then want to use an LS120 disk again,
after using the floppy disk. Will the drive be screwed, or does it reset,
when I eject the disk?

Also what is fd(4)?

man 4 fd
No manual entry for fd in section 4
