Docked and floppy enabled in the BIOS. Normally (that is, previously) the floppy drive was probed even if not docked. Pretty much like the parallel and serial ports. It's fine if the floppy drive is not probed when not docked, but docking should then cause the floppy drive to be added. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
