Mine seems to work on the later but will it work better on the former? The hdd=ide-floppy is what ML 8.1 set it up as and I can read write and delete as though it is a hard drive. My curiosity is running in high gear here now. Could it possibly work both ways? A little help and advice here would be appreciated, cause I don't like giving out bad information, even though I do on occasion. : ) -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842
