I saw that, but it shouldn't have any effect on IDE other than the
error message that you get when you write-protect a floppy. It appears
the error messages on that page refer to BIOS calls from the device(s)
when it thinks it _should_ be able to write to the device. It only
happens when the write-protection is on.

Yes, I think I will. I've used similar products, but they are European
and though the products are fine; ordering, shipping and
paying in another denomination is inconvinient.
I prefer the 44-pin products because many of the 486 and P1 products
limit the floppy BIOS to 1.44M. Using the 44-pin bus ensures that there
will be no problems at all, IMHO.
Here's some links for some products that I have used:

If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question!
