I have a floppy controller, but I stole the drive a while ago for my Windows system which grew a requirement for one to support disaster recovery. I have not tried the pcm0 in either case. I have no idea whether it works right now. I'll be at the system at around noon (PDT) today and I can try it. I have not use the sound card on that system in quite a while. I seldom am physically close to it except when working on it. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
