My apologies to all.
I posted the above in the wrong mail list. Mea culpa.
However, check if this may still apply to you in your OS.
yes and no
dolphin has a place in "Places" for floppy drive, and when i click it with a floppy in the drive the light comes on and it tries to read it for a while, then gives this long error:
An error occurred while accessing 'PC Floppy Drive', the system responded: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
i'm running opensuse 11.2, kde 4.3.5, so at least i'm on the right list, but it sure looks like i can't look at my old floppies either
i've got a lot of old floppies around (i am pathologically unable to throw any old software or books away) and it'd be fun to see what's on some of them...

Yeah, right...so it seems from the above that you don't really know if you are able to read/write floppies. How about really trying to see if you CAN read/write to your floppies and let us know the results? Thanks.
