mount floppy, to be sure

Hi there,
I never touch a AIX because i'm used to work on FreeBSD.
I'll have to copy some file from a floppy to an AIX.
Just to be sure is the mount command the same ?
I mean a simple
mount /dev/fd0 /floppy should work ?

Thanks

Look at the 'flcopy' command. I believe that /dev/rfd0 is the default device file for a floppy under AIX.

Cheers,

Keith
