No. 'dmesg | less' listed the devices but I can't see anything resembling a floppy, SWIM or fd0; however I can see the two scsi hard disks and the CDRom.
I've just booted up on the MkLinux partition and 'mount /dev/fd0 gives the same error '/dev/fd0 has the wrong major or minor number' but 'dmesg | less' doesn't list any of the drives except for:
Mach root device sd1l: major=8 minor=28 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. The floppy works fine on the Mac side Thanks
