One thing that has always surprised me on Linux is that there doesn't seem to be any automatic mount/umount handling of floppy drives (DOS format).
I guess I'm thinking of something similar to the pcmcia card manager that detects insert/remove events and automatically loads and unloads drivers. Perhaps there is and I missed it? /etc/fstab: /dev/fd0 /dosa msdos user,noauto I mount with: mount /dosa If I pop out the floppy and put in another, "ls" still shows the contents of the first floppy. Having to umount/mount for every floppy gets tedious! Is there some feature that I don't know about to help with this? I just switched from WABI to Wine for running Quicken. WABI accessed the floppy device directly and didn't need any external help. With Wine/Quicken, I have to do the mount/umount each time. Quicken2000 backup files don't fit on one floppy. I'm new to wine and not very trusting yet so I backup my work every 10 or 20 minutes. ...RickM...
