strange hex dump of floppy
I was fooling around with xxd, trying to look into my unmounted
floppy (which is /dev/sda). I don't understand why I'm getting different outputs: # xxd /dev/sda | tail -1 001bff0: 6a65 3465 7973 5972 794b 5949 3854 6e61 je4eysYryKYI8Tna # xxd /dev/sda | tail -1 001fff0: 5849 4d73 716c 4655 6465 6570 2f4b 7337 XIMsqlFUdeep/Ks7 Besides that, based on the above it looks like the size of my floppy disk is smaller than the advertised 1.44 MB. I would be grateful for an explanation. |

Thanks for the reply, maillion. If I did my math right, i looks like it's reporting a floppy size of around 1/8 MB. Don't know what's going
on there. |
