I have a question regarding the use of the floppy disk on the  
NeXTStation. Is there a way to put the autodiskmount process to sleep   
so I can mount a MAC disk without having the WS Manager spit it out? 


There are obvious UNIX solutions: I know. I cound send a STOP signal  
to it, and when I'm finished send a CONT signal. But is there  
another, more aesthetic way to do this?

Also, what is the sector size of the 800k and the 1.4Meg disks?
