Operating The Floppy Drive; Verifying The Floppy Drive Configuration - HP Visualize J280 Owner's Manual

Operating the
Floppy Drive
The ioscan utility verifies
the configuration of all
drives.
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
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
============================================
bc
8 bc
8/12 ba
8/12/5
8/12/5.0
8/12/5.0.0
If ioscan does not see your floppy drive it returns the following
message:
ioscan: No hardware found
If you receive this message, go to Chapter 6, "Solving Prob-
lems."
