Erm..? There is a floppy drive though.
I might be mistaken, but I think 'floppy' is for a real floppy, not a USB floppy. (didn't you say yours is hooked up via USB?)
Yes there is an adapter on the back of the drive with a usb plugged into the m/b header. It is odd because an external USB drive works fine but using this adapter give me the same results as O/P The drive is ticking all the time with the LED flashing. I am worried this is going to wear the drive out. It is old after all. It is a Linux problem because when I boot to windows 7 the drive operated normally. In ubuntu or opensuse the drive is continuously being read all the time. The only way to stop it is to put in a floppy disk but this is not a solution to the problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
