Nothing to be done about it, unless you build your own Linux install kernel patched for the PCMCIA floppy. I wouldn't know how to build an install kernel BTW :-( (but it can't be that hard - obviously you need a running Linux system for that...) BTW No luck yet trying to get the floppy to work in Linux 2.6.x kernels. Philip
