It has a good floppy, and the XP partition when up and running will see it and
read/write to the disk just fine. But when I bring up SuSE it does not
see it I see
the drive cycling and hear the motors in it running but do not see where it is
found by anything

Here is my fstab file
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hde1 /data1 auto noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs
ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/hda2 swap swap pri=42 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs
fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0

And the mtab file
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs rw,acl,user_xattr 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,gid=100,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder subfs
ro,nosuid,nodev,fs=cdfss,procuid,iocharset=utf8 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
/dev/hde1 /data1 vfat rw 0 0
