Well I can't say that I'm too happy about the way that FC5 is handling removable devices. Each time I load a CDROM. or a DVDROM, I get boxes opening, winging about what do I want to do with it. Just tried a floppy, and I get absolutely nothing.
What, in your estimation, would be the correct behavior? And what other OS and operating environment gets this behavior right?
All MicroSoft products handle floppies better than all versions of Linux.
And the last time I used a Mac with a floppy drive it had the correct behaviour (detected and appeared on the desktop). That would be a decade ago...
(That said, it also had the incorrect behaviour that if the disk got stuck in the drive it was possibly an RMA)
