MkLinux's driver is based on a Copland driver with a Mach Driver
interwoven and some shim code. Needs massive cleanup, but basically works
as long as you don't have more than one floppy drive. Also a little
trouble with writing large chunks of data (not sure why).
Thanks for the info on how the write protect is supposed to work. I put
some checks for write protect on write, but making the mount fail is a
much more logical solution.
Later,
