I do not know how to access from command line. You can try to access the drive by typing in: cd /mnt/floppy (that is where is shows up on my system) and then ls This should list all of the files readable on the drive. >Any idea what else I could be doing wrong?

I'll verify that my disk drive works this evening as I still have one or two around and a computer with a micro-floppy drive.
