This section describes how to perform tasks with your 3.5-inch floppy
disk drive.
Verifying the Floppy Drive Configuration
To verify that your workstation can communicate with the floppy
drive, use the ioscan command in a terminal window to see which
devices are currently in use on your system:
1. Enter the following at a command prompt:
/usr/sbin/ioscan –d sflop
Enter
After a few moments the ioscan utility lists all of the SCSI
floppy I/O devices it could find. The list appears similar to the
following:
H/W Path Class Description
============================================
bc
8 bc I/O Adapter
8/12 ba Core I/O Adapter
8/12/5 ext_bus Built-in SCSI
8/12/5.0 target
8/12/5.0.0 disk TEAC FC-1 HF 07
If ioscan does not see any SCSI drives it returns the following
message:
ioscan: No hardware found
If you receive this message, go to Chapter 6, “Solving Prob-
lems.”
