Floppy rehab

Since floppy drives no longer use optical sensors, using a mechanical feeler
instead, you may find that the write-lock tabs that you once used on 5-1/4"
drives work fine, so long as you apply them so they're tight. That way the
feeler will encounter resistance when it tries to feel the hole.
