My floppy is read only, all the time, regardless of floppy or how tab is set it always sees it a write protected drive currently using this from /etc/fstab: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 orginally I had this in /etc/fstab and only root could mount or umount floppy and most operations attempts gave an error that it was not allowed with protocol drives. /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0 neither works properly anyone know what the fix it- as with my Umaxs 1220s scanner everything worked ok with SuSE 8.0, and 9.0 (BTW: still have problems with the Umax 1220s scanner not working, gave up on that one, can reboot to SuSE 9.0 to use the scanner) thanks in advance
