talking to a DOS floppy, at least

[Jules Gilbert]

no, i write to MS-DOS file system's all the time.  Sometimes on floppy, 
too. 

But now I am trying to write to a floppy mounted via the USB port, and I 
get a "busy" whenever I try to write to a floppy.

I do a:

mount -t msdos /dev/da0 /mnt/flp

to get it mounted.
