Here is the chart for AT&T UNIX V/386 3.2.2. I would expect ISC to
be similar:
Diskette Type Device
-----------------------------------------------
5.25" 1.2MB DSHD /dev/[r]dsk/f_q15dt
-or- /dev/[r]dsk/f_5ht
5.25" 360KB DSDD /dev/[r]dsk/f_d9dt
5.25" AT&T UNIX PC /dev/[r]dsk/f_d8dt
5.25" AT&T 3B2 720KB /dev/[r]dsk/f_5qdt
3.5" 1.44MB DSHD /dev/[r]dsk/f_3ht
3.5" 720KB DSHD /dev/[r]dsk/f_3dt
