Annotation of Examples/UNIX/Floppy/README, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: This example is actually the source for /usr/etc/fdform, the NeXT Floppy Disk Format utility. This formats a floppy disk at any specified density using the fd driver. Command line options are as described in the fdform man page. 
        !             2: 
        !             3: This example illustrates how to do the following:
        !             4: 
        !             5:        -- Inquire the fd driver as to the type of media present.
        !             6:        -- Give the driver new format parameters.
        !             7:        -- Generate commands, such as Recalibrate, Format Track, and Seek, and
        !             8:           send them to the Intel 82077 controller chip via the FDIOCREQ ioctl.
        !             9:        -- Read the disk, one track at a time, using the FDIOCRRW ioctl.
        !            10: 
        !            11: Refer to the man page for fd(4) for specific information on using the floppy disk driver.
        !            12:
