Floptical Driver software
-------------------------
Note: This software is now PD, but is UNSUPPORTED.
It is still (c) 1995 Hugo Fiennes of The Serial Port
Use: edit the appropriate !Run file to include the SCSI ID of your
floptical drive (use *Devices to find this). Run !FlopFS. Use.
Note that to format blank floptical disks you must first try to
mount the disk (to unlock it) then run the formatter. You can swap
disks like floppies and it will ask for them back if it wants them.

Release notes:
Floptical Driver Software, issue 5
----------------------------------
* Depending on wether you have an ADFS compatible ROM installed in your
floptical drive (*Devices will list the revision as 385 as opposed to
384) you should use either the !Floptical application in the DOS
directory of the !Floptical application in the ADFS directory. With
the ADFS ROM fitted you can read and write 800k and 1.6Mb ADFS disks.
Floptical Driver Software, issue 4
----------------------------------
* The floptical drive will now, in conjunction with RISC OS 3, now read
and write standard PC 720k or 1.44Mb diskettes.
* RISC OS 3 multitasking free display added.
Floptical Driver Software, issue 3
----------------------------------
* The floptical floppy icon now stays put if you have RISC OS 3.
Floptical Driver Software, issue 2
----------------------------------
* FlopForm 0.02 is supplied. Delete *all* copies you have of 0.01, as due to
a bug, it may low-level format the wrong device! This version of FlopForm
is also compatible with the Oak SCSI card.
* There is now only one !Floptical application which determines what operating
system and SCSI system it is running with and adjusts automatically - it
selects between Econet SCSI, Acorn-compatible SCSI and Oak SCSI and also
between RISC OS 2 and RISC OS 3.
* FLOPFS now sends unlock code every time a drive is mounted, as well as at
bootup to ensure drive stays unlocked.
