[ltp] Floppy drive and 755

[Alan Davis]

I have been trying to get a floppy drive to work on a 755ce: no success, even after swapping out the drive for one I know to work on a 750cx.  I tried both with and without the kernel parameter "floppy=thinkpad".  However, on a 755cx,  the floppy works ONLY IF I do not use the same kernel parameter; it doesn't work if I use the parameter.  

Is there something special to look out for with these models?  I am trying to eliminate a bad floppy controller.  

Thank you,

I have steadily endeavored to keep my mind free, so as to give up any
hypothesis, however much beloved -- and I cannot resist forming one 
on every subject -- as soon as facts are shown to be opposed to it.

conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.
