- A question about floppy disk handling under A/UX 3.0. I'm running a Q700
- with the standard internal HD drive. What's got me curious is that when I
- insert a floppy, it seems to take as long as 10 seconds before the floppy
- icon appears. Every couple of seconds the drive makes some noise. There's
- only 1 file on it (a 1MB or so Stuffit archive segment). What's the deal?
