I have a NeXT cube with the 2.n level operating system and I'm unable to  
install a Peripheral Land floppy drive. The NeXT contains a 40 meg. swap  
HD, no optical drive and boots off a TP network. I tried various SCSI  
settings, that ain't the problem.

Should I be able to install a floppy drive on such a system, or do floppy  
drive need special software or to be connected to a Mac with a HD or  
operating system local to it?

Many thanks in advance for taking the time to consider this problem.
