That must be your full module tree, then. Too small for it to be kernel source, too big for it to be just the driver (even with source).

The 18MB package? It's a rpm installable package for Fedora containing the actual built kernel. No source code is included.

Although this is already marked as [SOLVED] I'd like to point out that FreeBSD still supports MFM drives (and loads of other older hardware) in its current releases: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/b … ity-drives.html
Generally they are less aggressive than Linux distributions in discontinuing support for old stuff.

Yea, Linux was always good in supporting hardware from the scrap yard! 😉
