Re: Internal Floppy not recondized in OS X (10.1.5)

I have a Power macintosh G3 Mini Tower, CD,ZIP, and Floppy. The Floppy drive works fine in OS 9 but don't do anythigng in OS X. If you put a floppy in the drive wont even make a noise. I have Mac OS X 10.1.5, any reasons why it won't work? Help please...
i was just messing w/ my floppy drive today...
i've got a VST USB floppy drive which i'd only used under os9. i recently installed jag. today i popped in a floppy, and i got nothing.
what i found:
1. the floppy has to be formatted to mount
2. an unformatted floppy does nothing
3. to work around 2., unplug the drive (well, you can't, but this may help others), put the floppy in, plug it back in. this should mount it (though i haven't verified that, so ymmv).
i did boot to os9 and install drivers, but nothing on osx. according to vst, they're built into the OS (dunno if that counts for 10.1.5, though)
hope some of this helps
