Help text

If you want to use the floppy disk drive(s) of your PC under Linux, say Y. Information about this driver, especially important for IBM Thinkpad users, is contained in Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/floppy.rst. That file also contains the location of the Floppy driver FAQ as well as location of the fdutils package used to configure additional parameters of the driver at run time.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called floppy.
