Are we saying that Ubuntu cannot access floppy drives without a degree in computer technology? This is plain nonsense, it has to work out of the box. How can I help test any possible solutions please?

The user specification is:
----------------
If a floppy drive is fitted to a computer and correctly configured in the BIOS setup then it should be found by the operating system at boot and shown in Places.

When the user clicks on 'Floppy Drive' in Places the system should show the folders/files of the 'Floppy Drive' in a normal nautilus window, similar to the contents of a cd when placed in the cdrom drive.
----------------

Can this be done?
