[haiku-development] Re: Greetings - Haiku: 720k DD Floppy Access

I'm glad to hear that the Haiku floppy driver has some potential to be more
feature complete than R5.

If the driver was to work with 720k floppies, how would I gain direct disk
access without first mounting the disk.  Like i said, most of the disks I
will be working with are in proprietary file system formats, and I do not
expect to be able to mount them in Haiku.  I would however like direct 720k
read/write access from disk image programs and from future synth/sampler
editor projects I will be working on.  I can obviously read and write to
mounted disks, but I don't know how I could access floppy drives directly
without mounting.  Any ideas?
