+.Sh NAME
+.Nm fdc
+.Nd Sun SPARCstation i82072 or i82077 floppy disk controller driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "fdc0 at sbus0" Pq SBus based machines
+.Cd "fdc0 at ebus0" Pq PCI based machines
+.Cd "fd* at fdc0"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This is the driver for the built-in floppy disk drive run by the
+.Tn Intel
+i82072 or i82077 controller chip found on the SPARCstation desktop
+systems, and other
+.Tn SPARC
+systems.
+.Pp
+Bits
+.Bq 0-3
+of the minor device number of the special files referring to this
+device encode the floppy density as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width indent -offset indent
+.It 0
+3.5'' 1.44MB floppy diskettes.
+.It 1
+3.5'' 720KB floppy diskettes.
+.It 2
+3.5'' 360KB floppy diskettes.
+.It 3
+3.5'' 1.2MB/NEC Japanese format floppy diskettes.
+.El
+.Sh FORMATTING
+The driver supports floppy disk formatting using the interfaces in
+.In sys/fdio.h :
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK -compact
+.It Dv FDIOCGETFORMAT Fa struct fdformat_parms
+Fetch current formatting parameters.
+This gets the default parameters
+for the open device if no parameters have been set during the session.
+.Pp
+.It Dv FDIOCSETFORMAT Fa struct fdformat_parms
+Set formatting parameters.
+The driver saves this state and it persists while the device is open.
+.Pp
+.It Dv FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK Fa struct fdformat_cmd
+Format a track on the medium.
+If this call returns
+.Er EINVAL ,
+the track formatting parameters were out of range for the medium.
+If it returns
+.Er EIO ,
+there was a medium error while formatting the track.
+.Pp
+.It Dv FDIOCSETOPTS Fa int
+Set driver options which persist until the device is closed.
+The
+options should be the logical OR of the desired values below:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width FDOPT_NORETRY -compact
+.It Dv FDOPT_NORETRY
+Do not retry operations on failure
+.It Dv FDOPT_SILENT
+Do not print error messages to the console
+.El
+.Pp
+.It Dv FDIOCGETOPTS Fa int
+Fetch drive options.
+.El
+.Pp
+A typical use of the formatting facilities would be to open the device,
+call
+.Dv FDIOCGETFORMAT
+to fetch the current format parameters, perhaps
+change a parameter or two, display the formatting details to the user,
+and then call
+.Dv FDIOCSETFORMAT
+followed by a series of calls to
+.Dv FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK .
+.Sh SEE ALSO

+.Xr fdformat 1
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Nx 4.0 .
+.Sh BUGS
+The ebus attachment does not yet work.
