Personally, I have little use for MSDOS floppies. But I would be
interested in easy-to-use tools to automount any floppy.

So my kids or wife can easily copy files to and from floppies without
using "mount". (My 4-year-old doesn't know shell/command-line, but he can
use X11 okay.)

Maybe some tool that looks at the floppy device and guesses/figures out
the file system type of the floppy and then mounts it with that
type. (This probably already exists.)
