Nope. The drive isn't wide enough to fit a floppy in. It does detect
changes in media, though.

To be honest, I think you're obsessing over something small. To get
linux working in schools there's a lot more than automounting floppies
to get past. I don't know if Roger from SuSE UK is on the list, but I'm
sure his work with linux in education has given him a very good idea of
the (more important) problems to be overcome before linux can be run in
the classroom..
