 Post subject: Floppy as easy as possible ...
PostPosted: Sun Feb 10, 2002 1:08 am 
Hi,

I just need a way to access the floppy as easy as possible. By easy I mean if possible without DMA and IRQ. Are there any tutorials?

Thanks,
The Legend

it is impossible to write floppydirvers without irqs.
It is possible to write some without dma, but this is much more complicated, cause an interrupt will come for every single byte, wich you then must transfer from the fdc to its correct adress in the memory.

infos on how to program the dma

This one s about the fdc (the examples are ****!)

also very good is to have a look at the

fdc.c and dma.c files
