Introduction
Using It

Introduction

"User Given Devices" is the work title of a still experimental feature of Kfloppy. It allows the user to give a device name and to use it nearly as if it was a floppy drive.

This feature is mainly intended as a work-around for users having USB floppy drives of any kind (including ZIP™ disk drives) or any other non-legacy floppy drives.

Note

Unfortunately at the time of writing this documentation, the feature is not very user friendly, as it does not offer any help to the user on how a device is called and Kfloppy does not even remember the device name from call to call. (This is partially a security, as the device of the floppy drive might change between reboots.)

Note

As this feature was developed under Linux®, the BSD™ version of Kfloppy offers less choices than Kfloppy under Linux®.
