From: rick@ee.uwm.edu (Rick Miller, Linux Device Registrar) Subject: Floppy access NAK's-out kermit's "receive" Date: 11 Feb 1993 18:01:35 GMT
I've run into problems when doing any intensive floppy operations (like
"fdformat", or "dd" during a Kermit "receive". The Kermit file transfer
always NAK's out! What's up? Do I need to re-compile Kermit5A?
Mounting/unmounting an ms-dos floppy doesn't do this, nor does copying
nor moving files to/from such a floppy... It seems to be just the more
'intensive' floppy operations which do it.
It has been happenning at least from 0.99.1 through 0.99.5 kernel releases,
and I'm only running at 9600 bps with practically nothing loading the system.
