System name:		m37-318-4
Type and version:	KN02ba 7.7G
Display type:		PMAG-BA 

What were you trying to do?
 use mtools to access my floppy: mdir and mcopy

What's wrong:
% mdir
init: open "/dev/rfloppy": No such device or address

What should have happened:
  obviously, it should have read the floppy.  the
drive didn't even spin; the light didn't go on
(it's not a problem with my floppy, and it
works on the computer right next to this one,
which is of the same type

Could someone please respond to this message?  I've
sent in a report before, but the problem persists.
Are you just waiting for parts or something?
