 * Block device driver configuration
 * Block device driver configuration

Acorn-specific block devices

 * depends on ARCH_ACORN


 * Option: BLK_DEV_FD1772
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) "Old Archimedes floppy (1772) support"
 * depends on ARCH_ARC || ARCH_A5K
 * Support the floppy drive on the Acorn Archimedes (A300, A4x0, A540, R140 and R260) series of computers; it supports only 720K floppies at the moment. If you don't have one of these machines just answer N.


 * Option: BLK_DEV_MFM
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) "MFM harddisk support"
 * depends on ARCH_ARC || ARCH_A5K
 * Support the MFM hard drives on the Acorn Archimedes both on-board the A4x0 motherboards and via the Acorn MFM podules. Drives up to 64MB are supported. If you haven't got one of these machines or drives just say N.


 * Option: BLK_DEV_MFM_AUTODETECT
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) "Autodetect hard drive geometry"
 * depends on BLK_DEV_MFM
 * If you answer Y, the MFM code will attempt to automatically detect the cylinders/heads/sectors count on your hard drive. WARNING: This sometimes doesn't work and it also does some dodgy stuff which potentially might damage your drive.
