Floopy drive

[Alexey Fadyushin]

It means that floppy drive uses the SCSI command set to communicate
with the computer over USB like many USB mass storege deivices,
and therefore the SCSI kernel module will be used for that floppy
instead
of the floppy module used for usual floppy drives.

I think that there should not be any differnce from the user's point of
view
and you can use /dev/sda for that floppy just like you
would use /dev/fd, e.g. 'mount /dev/sda /mnt/floppy', etc.
