It mounts off and on with erratic success. I hooked the USB floppy up to a Mac with OS/X and it worked great. I also hooked it up to an x86 with slackware and it worked great. I would like to be able to choose to mount and umount normally. I can use the commands but I don't want any automounting going on. I would, however, like to keep the possibility of hotplugging usb devices if possible... Thank you for your time.
