I don't know whether at some point in the last couple of years the

changed, then I'll update floppy as soon as I see where the new naming
convention is documented. But, as of now, this is what the fd man page
says the naming convention should be, and that's what MAKEDEV creates.
All I can tell you is that in the /Documentation/devices.txt file in
the kernel source/documentation, it does not list any floppy devices
using a capital H. There is a lower case h, but that is used in
5-1/4" floppies.
