if i were you i would not just let the drive sit there not working. even if you dont use it, it should be working and there is no reason for it not to. how are you trying to mount the floppy drive? maybe there is erronous input you are providing, try just putting a disk in the drive, and run kde and open the floppy that way, click on the floppy icon that is put by default on the desktop. when you said this:

" If I access it from a terminal window, the error I get is: first that the floppy is read only, and then it tries to mount the disk read only, but gives an error message that says there were in/out errors, and returns me to the prompt."

do you check to see if it is mounted? when i mount a floppy often is the case that i view input/output errors, but thefloppy drive IS in fact mounted. try again, and then cd to whatever place the floppy is mounted.

Floppy will not mount on SUSE

I have installed SUSE 10 on a laptop that has a swappable CDROM/Floppy drive. When I was installing the OS my CDROM was connected. Later I tried to swap it with the Floppy and mount it but no success. Here is what I get: dell:/dev # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt /dev/fd0: Invalid argument ...

cpu_family(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					       cpu_family(3alleg4)

NAME

       cpu_family - Contains the CPU type. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       extern int cpu_family;

DESCRIPTION

       Contains the Intel type, where applicable. Allegro defines the following CPU family types:

	  CPU_FAMILY_UNKNOWN  - The type of processor is unknown
	  CPU_FAMILY_I386     - The processor is an Intel-compatible 386
	  CPU_FAMILY_I486     - The processor is an Intel-compatible 486
	  CPU_FAMILY_I586     - The processor is a Pentium or equivalent
	  CPU_FAMILY_I686     - The processor is a Pentium Pro, II, III
				or equivalent
	  CPU_FAMILY_ITANIUM  - The processor is an Itanium processor
	  CPU_FAMILY_POWERPC  - The processor is a PowerPC processor
	  CPU_FAMILY_EXTENDED - The processor type needs to be read
				from the cpu_model

       You can read this variable after you have called check_cpu() (which is automatically called by allegro_init()).
