I believe Justin fixed the problem (the drive light for my 3950U2 now works
correctly, it was stuck before), but I can't remember when.  I had my led
unhooked for a long time because of the driver bug. :)

You may be able to test whether or not it is fixed by trying a boot floppy
from 3.4 or a -stable snapshot.
