This is true for HP-IB discs, but the question was about the built-in
floppies on the 236 (which have no settable addresses).  Some possible
causes (which may seem obvious - no insult intended if they are) are:  a
kernel configured without the floppy driver (named "flex" in the dfile),
no media in the drive, or drive door not closed.
