| Description |
attaches the specified diskette drive to the current process for subsequent input or output activity. The drive indicator and density are indicated with the options provided.
This is used after the "t-att" command to designate the density to read/write diskettes and which floppy drive to use, when more than one drive is present. Drive choices are typically "a" or "b". The default values are drive "a", high density. The default block size is 500. |
| Options |
e Selects 2.88mb floppy (not available on R83).
h High density (1.2mb for 5-1/4 inch, 1.44mb for 3-1/2 inch) s Standard density (360kb for 5-1/4 inch, 720kb for 3-1/2 inch) D3/Unix implementation-specific options: a Select 5 1/4" floppy. b Select 3 1/2" floppy. h Select 1.2M if 5 1/4", or 1.44M if 3 1/2". s Select 360K if 5 1/4". l Select 720K if 3 1/2". |

| Example |
set-floppy (ah
This attaches floppy diskette drive "a" at high density. |
| Warnings |
D3/Unix: This command does not allow selection among two devices of the same type. If two or more devices of the same type are present, the first one in the configuration file will be selected. See "set-device". This command may fail on an unformatted floppy.
Don't forget to "rewind" the diskette with the "t-rew" command prior to attempting any read or write operation. Usually, this doesn't take too long. |
