+Floppy + + +&Alexander.Neundorf; &Alexander.Neundorf.mail; + + + + + +The floppy ioslave gives you easy access to the floppy disk drives +installed on your system. + + + +The drive letter becomes the first subdirectory +in the floppy &URL;. Let's say there is a file logo.png on your floppy +disk in drive A, then the &URL; will be floppy:/a/logo.png + + + +If you want to access drive B, floppy:/b will do it. +floppy:/ is a shortcut for floppy:/a. + + +Note that floppy:/logo.png means you have a disk drive +named logo.png. + + +To use it you need to have the mtools package +installed, and the floppy ioslave supports everything the various mtools +command line utilities support. You don't have to mount your floppy disks, +simply enter floppy:/ in any &kde; 3.x app and you will be able to +read from and write to your floppy drive. + + +It also works with USB sticks, ZIP and JAZ drives. +You can use floppy:/u for the USB stick and floppy:/z for the zip drive, for example. +To make this work, you might need to adjust your /etc/mtools file. See the manpage +for documentation. + + +The ioslave gives read and write access to the floppy drive, but not +simultaneously. While you can read and write to the floppy during the same +session, reading and writing have to happen one after the other, not at the same +time. + +Author: Alexander Neundorf neundorf@kde.org + +
