[Bug 441835] Re: Clicking on floppy gives "no device media found"

[peter b]

yes Martin, I fully understand your

.....'Thus
the BIOS and Linux still detect a /dev/df0, but once you want to talk
to it, there is never an answer (because there is no floppy behind
it), and thus the calls just time out.'.....

from #539515; I'm not a dev but logically thinking I ask myself though -
would it be possible to put a timer of, say of 3-4 seconds (which is
probably quite reasonable) to wait for an answer (iterations) on the
call to the floppy device and based on the y or n received to
configure/not configure the  the device ?
