To be honest, I don't recall. Maybe ~6 months or so?

Thanks.
The strange part is that the floppy was not mounted (so far as I
know -- at least I never tried to mount it). Using filemon I didn't
even see A: get referenced. (???)

I was getting attempts to access everytime... up until I took the
drive out. It may still be trying for all I know. (If it's a
feature of Microsoft Windows, it no doubt *is* still trying.) :)
