[comp.sources.wanted] Floppy Disk Controllers

pmswl@dcatla.UUCP (Scott W. Leonard) (06/07/89)

        I'm looking for some assembly source to access (program)
        the NEC 765 or the INTEL 8272A Floppy Disk Controller.
 
        I've got the chip specs. for all the functions, but I'm
        having some trouble with the application.

        I don't want to go through a lot of trouble re-inventing
        the wheel, so I'm checking to see if there is any source
        code available.  Anything, even sample routines, would
        be greatly appreciated.

                                Thanks
                                Scott Leonard

How about the IBM PC Tech. Manuals -- I think that's the chip they
use and they have a source listing of their (copyrighted) BIOS.

Another place to check would be to look at the updated floppy
driver(s?) in the comp.os.minix archives (this is probably in C).
