I tried using Miketan63 procedure and got as far as step 4. Step four
failed. I got the following message: "Cannot Initialize Device",
"unable to open any device formatting cannot continue"

That is it. I do not have a floppy icon in my Places> computer:/// file.

I have been trying to get my floppy drive to work through three
different upgrades of Ubuntu (9.04, 8.10, & 8.04) without any success.
I would really like to get it working.

If anyone can help or want more info on my computer let me know.

Thanks
