I had a similar problem with my Power Tower Pro but with the CD-ROM drive. When I installed OS 9 from an iMac restore CD, the new OS could not recognize the CD Drive. Maybe because its not an Apple drive? Anyway, the problem was solved when I copied the CD-Rom Toolkit extension from the old OS (8.6) to the new System Extensions folder and restarted. Come to think of it, I haven't tried to use the floppy drive with the OS 9.

Bottom line, perhaps there is an extension that needs to be transferred for the floppy drive as well. Or a driver re-installed which could be available online from the drive manufacturer.

I recently upgraded my Power Center Pro Mini Tower from 7.6.1 to 8.6 with a
CD I purchased that was apparently intended for an I-Mac. When I got done I
found that my floppy drive did not work. I put in a floppy but the icon
would not show up. I remember that I-Mac's did not have floppy disk drives,
so does any one know how to work around this? I still have the 7.6.1
installed on this drive, can I pull something off of it and drop it on 8.6?
