Scott Mueller's book is too thick and voluminous. One can get hernia just by
carrying the book. No I don't think it is suitable for anyone but an
academician. I have the book and it sits on the shelf. What is easy is
explained in many pages and with so much theory that it becomes difficult.
When one has a real problem and tries to consult the book no solution can be
found. No just go to the corner friendly OMO computer shop and explain your
problem;the nerd there may just give you free advice or solution. Anyway the
solution in this NGs for your problem is very apt and to the point. You
should have no problem in fixing your problem. with the floppy disk drive.
