Subject: Floppy access by dd fails for 2.6.26-rc2 to final,
 possibly even earlier

Greetings;

I just been advised by private email that I an not the only one who has lost the 
use of his floppy drive via dd.  The corresponder noted that he had a copy of 
DSL with a 2.4.something kernel, and his drive worked flawlessly while booted 
to DSL.

So now there are at least 2 floppy users wandering in the wilderness looking for 
water.  We need it to support 20 year old computers without a TCP stack or 
network cards.

Who is the floppy.c maintainer these days?
