Will support single density / FM:
NS PC87306 Super I/O
SMC FDC37C65
SMC FDC37C78
Most SMC Super I/O chips
Will NOT support single density / FM:
NS 8473
NS PC87332* Super I/O
NS PC97307* Super I/O
WD FDC37C65
Most (if not all) Intel parts
Any Winbond part
Any UMC part
Totally incorrect, all support SD *IF* software and external data
seperators/clocks are correct.
Reportedly will do single density / FM but NOT
verified:
NS 8477
Intel 82077AA
Goldstar Super I/O
At this point he must be referring to PC FDC CARDS where life is more or
less dictated by design hacks and sometimes bios omissions,
I can say the 37c65 (all vendors) and all versions of the 765(I8272) all
do single density quite well. Most PC bus cards do not do ningle
density (any/all) of those more often than not do not do SD FM due to
board level implmentation limitations. The most common is the data
seperator is hardwired for (especially true for any board with 765/8272
on it) one maybe two data rates.
