Sorry if I might have missed something along this thread but why aren't
you just define a different mount point for the large floppies in
/etc/fstab and
do a mkdir /mnt/floppy17?
But you are probably right that Linux' concept of handling floppies is too
static. This is due to a general contempt with which floppies are regarded
in the Unix world being a typical requisite of the PC architecture. Most
die-hard Unixers won't even *touch* them with a tip of their fingers ;)
