IBM thinkpad G40

all recent versions of FreeBSD

fdc0: <floppy drive controller (FDE)> port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on acpi0
fdc0: ic_type 90 part_id 73
fdc0: [MPSAFE]
fdc0: [FAST]
fd0: <1440-KB 3.5" drive> on fdc0 drive 0

>Description:

dev/fdc/fdc.c claims

* SEEK to where we want to be
*
* Enhanced controllers do implied seeks for read&write as long as
* we do not need multiple steps per track.

The fdc in this partucular portable however doesn't perform the implied seek.
