I've got a 10. My floppy drive shows up as
fdc0 at obio0 slot 0 offset 0x700000 level 11 softpri 4: chip 82077
fd0 at fdc0 drive 0: 1.44MB 80 cyl, 2 head, 18 sec
Running fdformat produces:
# fdformat
Ready to format /dev/rfd0a with 80 cylinders, 2 tracks, 18 sectors of
512 bytes
(1440 KB) Yes/no [y]?y
EEEEEEE^C
to the accompaniment of console messages
fd0a: hard error reading fsbn 0
fd0: controller status: state 17 (st0 70<abnrml,seek_cmplt,drv_chck>
cyl 0)
fd0: timeout: state 10
fd0: timeout: state 4
fd0: timeout: state 4
fd0: timeout: state 4
fd0: timeout: state 4
fd0: timeout: state 4

"eject fd0" produces more console messages
fd0: timeout: state 10
fd0: timeout: state 13
fd0: timeout: state 13
fd0: timeout: state 13
fd0: timeout: state 13
fd0: timeout: state 13
fd0c: hard error reading fsbn 0

and no eject. Now where's that paperclip gone....
Everything is 2000-02-19 vintage (1.4T).
