subsystem for
.Tn VAX-11/780 Ns s .
Access is given to the entire
floppy consisting of 77 tracks of 26 sectors of 128 bytes.

of 128 bytes and a multiple of 128 bytes should be transferred,
as in other
.Dq raw
disk interfaces.
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width /dev/floppy -compact
.It Pa /dev/floppy

.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
driver appeared in
.Bx 4.0 .

the trailing portion of the last sector will be zeroed.
