Well actually no, I guess you meen in solaris.
But I did have OpenBSD installed at the time and tried to access the floppy.
I also tried a floppy diagnistics in OpenBoot, with the PC and SS5 floppy
drives.
I'm now back to Solaris 10.
I tried a standard PC floppy cable, turning it over so pin1->pin32 aswell as
pin1->pin1.
For the SS5 floppy cable which is a straight model, I'm not sure if I tried
it both ways.
I will try different cabling again. Just want to confirm if a standard PC
floppy drive should work on the Ultra5?
