I have installed x.2 on a g3 and everything is running but the floppy drive.
Did I miss something?
Will this not work in X?

I switched out the drive and still nothing.

I transfer files on floppy to a pc so I would like to get this running.


FUGEDDABODIT!!. The floppy is not supported in X. There is a hack that I do
not think that anyone on the list, including myself, has gotten to work.

Your best option is to pick up a USB pen drive. According to dealram.com,
you can get a 128 Megabyte unit (90x the capacity of a floppy), for $21.00
shipped in the US. They also have some interesting variations, including a
wristwatch with 128M of storage and a combo pen drive/mp3 player.

These drives are also generally very sturdy, I ran mine through the washing
machine and it still works, YMMV.
