But the floppy group only has read access to the devices like /dev/fdu1440 that have a specific format. (I believe it is the same for the other floppy drives, but I have not checked.) Because my user is a member of the floppy group, I can format floppies using /dev/fd0. Why the rest do not have the same permissions I leave to someone else.
