+These files contain the code required for the low-level floppy disk driver.
+Currently, there is no block device code that implements this driver.
+
+System source files from my system are included as a reference.
+
+To install the driver:
+1. Copy Floppy.HC and Floppy.HH to the Kernel directory
+2. Copy the headers at the bottom of the provided KernelC.HC into *your* KernelC.
+3. Add "U8 FDC_DMA[0x4800];" to the bottom of KStart32.HC; This is the DMA buffer for the floppy disk (yeah, I know, DMA = blasphemy, but it's more reliable than PIO while being just as simple).
+4. Add Floppy.HC and Floppy.HH to Kernel.PRJ so that they will be compiled into the kernel.
+
+On startup, you will have to unmask IRQ6 and point its int to the IRQ handler, FDCIrqHandler.
+To do this, write 0xB8 to port 0x21, then use IntEntrySet to set the vector for the aforementioned int.
+In HolyC, that would be:
+OutU8(0x21,0xB8);
+IntEntrySet(0x26,&FDCIrqHandler,IDTET_IRQ);
+
+Use FDCReset to initialize the drive (make sure a disk is inserted; it does not test for one before doing things)
+
+FDCSeek does what it says.
+
+FDCRead/FDCReadMulti will read data from the disk.
+FDCWrite/FDCWriteMulti will write data to the disk.
+Data that has been read or is to be written goes in FDC_DMA.
+(The FDC*Multi funs use multi-track mode; data will be read from both heads)
+
+The result of seeks, recalibrations, and data xfers will be displayed in the Adam Task.
