Where is my floppy?

English Hardware
1

My desktop was recently upgraded from 11.0 to 11.2. Today I went to read some old programs from a floppy drive and can’t even find the icon. If I look it up in yast Hardware, Hardware Information, I can find the floppy drive controller for both floppies (both a 1.2 and a 1.44) listed.

There’s nothing in the partitioner program, or under /media, either?

What’s going on? The floppies have been in this box for years.
