+.Nd console floppy interface
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This is a simple interface to the
+.Tn DEC
+.Tn RX01
+floppy disk unit, which is part of the console
+.Tn LSI-11
+subsystem for
+.Tn VAX-11/780 Ns s .
+Access is given to the entire
+floppy consisting of 77 tracks of 26 sectors of 128 bytes.
+.Pp
+All I/O is raw; the seek addresses in raw transfers should be a multiple
+of 128 bytes and a multiple of 128 bytes should be transferred,
+as in other
+.Dq raw
+disk interfaces.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver appeared in
+.Bx 4.0 .
+.Sh BUGS
+Multiple console floppies are not supported.
+.Pp
+If a write is given with a count not a multiple of 128 bytes then
+the trailing portion of the last sector will be zeroed.
