yeah, you need to add ATAPI floppy support for the internal version
which sounds like what you have.  once that's done linux (>2.0.33 or
so) will recognize it and support it.  mine works pretty well.  i
think the externel parallel port version can be made to work as well,
but i have no experience there.
