[NTLUG:Discuss] USB Floppy Drive

[Dennis Rice]

I am attempting to have my laptop PC recognize an external USB floppy 
drive.  It sees all of the thumb drives and external hard drive 
partitions, but not the floppy.  Attempted to mount the floppy with:
mount -t vfat /dev/sdx1 /media/floppy (sdx was attempted for multiple 
values, and floppy directory previously created).  None worked. 
Running FC5.

Thoughts please.
