[Advanced-java] Floppy Device

[kinjal.dixit@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Kinjal Dixit)]

like files on a floppy disk? just put the drive letter in path like so:

under windows : "A:\\somefile.txt"
under linux : "/mnt/floppy/somefile.txt"
   (but the floppy drive would have to be mounted first using mount)

your InputStream/OutputStream remains normal... you dont need special file
handling logic if the file is on a floppy.

usually a FileOpen dialog should give you drive letters..

or are you asking detection of floppy drives or other lowlevel stuff?

is that it?
