<title>Floppy</title>

<para>
The floppy ioslave gives you easy access to the floppy disk drives 
installed on your system.
</para>

<para>
The drive letter becomes the first subdirectory 
in the floppy &URL;. Let's say there is a file <filename>logo.png</filename> on your floppy 
disk in drive A, then the &URL; will be <userinput><command>floppy:</command><replaceable>/a/logo.png</replaceable></userinput>
</para>

<para>
If you want to access drive B, <userinput><command>floppy:/b</command></userinput> will do it.
<command>floppy:/</command> is a shortcut for <command>floppy:/a</command>.
</para>

<note><para>Note that <command>floppy:/logo.png</command> means you have a disk drive 
named <filename>logo.png</filename>.</para></note>

<para>
To use it you need to have the mtools package
installed, and the floppy ioslave supports everything the various mtools 
command line utilities support. You don't have to mount your floppy disks, 
simply enter <userinput>floppy:/</userinput> in any &kde; 3.x app and you will be able to 
read from and write to your floppy drive.</para>

<para>
According to the mtools documentation ZIP and JAZ drives are also supported,
you could try <command>floppy:/z</command> and <command>floppy:/j</command> to access them.
Due to missing hardware this is not tested.</para>

<para>The ioslave gives read and write access to the floppy drive, but not 
simultaneously. While you can read and write to the floppy during the same 
session, reading and writing have to happen one after the other, not at the same 
time.</para>
