Thanks to Rick and James!
I figured it out, and it was really pretty dumb. I wanted to follow
Rick's tip, that the light would be on full-time if I had the cable
backwards. Since I hadn't seen the light go on ever, I figured, maybe
it's broken. So I opened up the case, and saw that I'd forgotten to plug
the floppy drive into power. I guess the moral of this story is,
hwbrowser may show you hardware that you don't have :-).
It saw the floppy _controller_, not the drive.
James--I sure wanted to try it with a floppy I knew was working, but 99%
of the floppies we have around here are USB (long story). I had tried to
plug one of those in, and it didn't work all by itself, so I decided to
try a good old-fashioned internal drive. Of which we have very, very
few. Thanks.
I think James meant a floppy disk, not the drive.
