Romain,
I don't know whether there's a solution to your problem or not. What I
do know is that accessing a local floppy with MToolsFM works fine in
my classroom. I even like the fact that the floppy has to be Dos
formatted. Those who still only have that Windoze stuff at home can at
least get at their documents.
I wouldn't dream of ever letting my students work directly on files
that reside on a floppy. After all, they each have their private
corner in the /home directory. Don't they? IMO even a 10 Mbit network
works faster than a floppy.
BTW I give my students access to a local floppy, but I advise them to
tar and gzip their documents, to attach the resulting archive to
an email message and to send that message to their private email
address. That way their documents are at their home long before
they themselves are!
