#13 floppy drive
I use STonX (tos2.06fr) with Mint1.15.12/aes4.1 and
stonx.xfs on Linux/PentiumII (Mandrake 7.2) with
ReiserFS partitions. All drives (C to H) are host links
to directories except D (a directory) and H ($HOME).
As for drive A:, I was able once to use it with -disk
/dev/fd0D720 (or something like that). But it was
unusable because the floppy acted like there was a
buffer: the desktop was quickly available, but writing
on disk went on, discontinued: 2 seconds write, 2
seconds pause, and so on in the background! There was
no way to tell if floppy writes were finished.
Since then I was not able to use floppy drive A:,
because I also use Supermount on Linux, and it seems to
interfere.

The prefered solution is to use disk images. If you do a
dd=if=/dev/fd0 of=image.st and run STonX with -disk
a:.image.st does it work ok?
