Comment 107 for bug 255651

As far as I can tell, all the bug reports regarding floppy disk drives have been marked as duplicates of this one, and this is marked "Fix Released." But, there's still a bug, somewhat different from the original description in this bug report. The icon for a floppy drive appears in Nautilus, but the disk cannot actually be read: it's indicated that there is no media in the drive.
