Thread: USB Floppy Drive Not Mounting

call me old fashioned, still use floppies time-to-time when looking @ of older documents. until installed 11.10, had no issues external floppy drive , had same "plug-and-play" compatibility windows 7 still has. tried using solution http://www.securitybeacon.com/?p=1110 suggested following.

code:

  edit “/lib/udev/rules.d/80-udisks.rules” , search lines  ——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-  # pc floppy drives  #  kernel==”fd*”, env{id_drive_floppy}=”1″  # usb floppy drives  #  subsystems==”usb”, attrs{binterfaceclass}==”08″, attrs{binterfacesubclass}==”04″, env{id_drive_floppy}=”1″  ——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-–  replace “1″ (ones) “0″ (zeros). that’s magic.  restart udev daemon typing “invoke-rc.d udev restart”  you’re done. should work now.

but didn't @ all. i've tried changing settings in udisks , have tried

code:

sudo modprobe floppy

doesn't work either. has else been successful in attaching usb floppy drive machine running 11.10?

anyone??
