I have read through this "bug" thread and I sure am confused as to the fix. I have not been able to use a floppy drive with Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10 and now 9.04.
Would someone publish the "fix" so that the floppy drives will work. In the thread I read that someone else has the floppy drive light on all the time. The response was that the cable is backwards. That is not the truth, as I have two desktops with floppy drive lights that are "on" all the time. I have tried the cable in all four ways and it stays on. I have made sure the red indicator strip is towards the number one terminal. In short I have done all the physical things one can do and I still have the led staying on, in two (2) different desktops. I tried to add Floppy to my /etc/modules file and I got a message that I did not have authorization to make a change. So I know I was not doing it correctly. Some instructions in that area would help me.
