You're right. It's a very unpleasant interface.
I managed to beat the relevant Minix code into shape to do what I
need. Would this be of any interest to you guys? I'm sure it needs
an expert hand to really bring it up to snuff, but it does work for
reading a floppy. The license is the new BSD-style Minix license.
Thankyou,
