Hi gang,

	I have spent the last day pulling out my hair trying to figure out why
I can't get this USB floppy drive to work. I know the drive works as I used it
to install FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE on this laptop yesterday.

	When I plug it in I get the following:

1.00/1.00,

	All this seems ok to me since it has no floppy in the drive. Yet when I
try and mount a floppy using mount -t ufs /dev/da0 /floppy or mount -t ufs
/dev/fd0 /floppy both fail. First with mount: Input/output error & the seconds
with mount: Device not configured .

	Any ideas would be much appreciated. This is the only part of the
system that doesn't work.

Cheers,

Mark
