I recently installed a 3.5" 720K/1.44MB floppy drive as the second floppy
in a AT&T 6386WGS and had to obtain the major/minor
device drivers from AT&T.  For those of you who may need
this info in the future, here it is:

Major	Minor	Device			Comments
  1	101	/dev/rdsk/f1d3d		# 720K character device
  1	 97	/dev/rdsk/f1d3dt	# 720K character double sided
  1     101     /dev/dsk/f1d3d		# 720K block device
  1      97     /dev/dsk/f1d3dt		# 720K block device double sided

  1	117	/dev/rdsk/f1h3d		# 1.44M character device
  1	113	/dev/rdsk/f1h3dt	# 1.44M character double sided
  1     117     /dev/dsk/f1h3d		# 1.44M block device
  1     113     /dev/dsk/f1h3dt		# 1.44M block device

If you are going to be accessing this drive through Simul-task (vpix)
then you need to add the following line(s) to /usr/vpix/defaults/vpix.cnf:

; 720K B: Drive
B		/dev/rdsk/f1d3dt

; 1.44M H: Drive
H		/dev/rdsk/f1h3dt

Note: the above major/minor devices are only for the second floppy,
or B drive under MESS-DOS.  If anyone has any info on other device
