    Sorry , my numbers were wrong, the problem is with 9.2, worked with 9.1

    My floppy is read only, all the time, regardless of floppy or how tab is set
    Suse 9.2 always sees it a write protected drive

    currently using this from /etc/fstab:

    /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0

    orginally I had this in /etc/fstab and only root could mount or umount floppy
    and most operations attempts gave an error that it was not allowed with
    protocol drives.

    /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs
    fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0

    neither works properly

    anyone know what the fix it- as with my Umaxs 1220s scanner everything worked
    ok with SuSE 8.0, and 9.1 (BTW: still have problems with the Umax 1220s
    scanner not working, gave up on that one, can reboot to SuSE 9.1 to use the
    scanner)

    thanks in advance
