Is it possible with an LS-120 (or any other kind of floppy drive) to get a userspace event of some kind when a disk is inserted? I want to build a floppy assimilation system that archives the contents of my aging floppies so I can get rid of them and clean up the clutter. The insertion event should trigger the whole archival process, so I can get this done as fast as possible.
