Greetings to all this morning, After several days of trying, reading, tweaking, and cursing...... I read up on supported umass usb devices supported by FreeBSD 6.1. The only umass usb external floppy drive I see in that list is a "Panasonic" external floppy. I have a TEAC FD-05PUB USB device. I can mount this device using mount_msdosfs /dev/da0 /mnt no problem. I can cd to this device, and ls and read the contents thereof. However, whenever I try to write to this device, I get "device busy", among other messages which I cannot reproduce at the moment, because this is a dual boot machine and I'm on the "other" side of the HDD now. Does anyone know if there is a tweak, or a hack to get around this write problem with TEAC umass usb floppy drives? Thanks in advance. -- Rev. Z.
