Thanks for the reponse, but no luck with it on my Quadra 650.

I checked I had floppy support in the kernel.. and I do.

sonic:/usr/src/sys/arch/mac68k/conf# mount -v -t msdos /dev/rfd0b 
~matthew/floppy
exec: mount_msdos /dev/rfd0b /home/matthew/floppy
mount_msdos: /dev/rfd0b on /home/matthew/floppy: Block device required

What do you think the problem is likely to be?

All the best.
