I thought I'd be able to access the drive from Konqueror - no such
luck though. I rt clicked on the desktop and created a shortcut to the
floppy drive- I get this when I try and access the drive--
The desktop entry file
/home/john/Desktop/Floppy Device
is of type FSDevice but has no Dev=... entry.
Kfloppy lets me format dos disks.
