Yes, thanks, that was definitely a helpful explanation for why
the design is the way it is. I'm still not sure how useful it
is to model "floppy is in the drive slot but not pushed in"
(we don't model "floppy is sat on my kitchen table", which
is also a situation that a real floppy disk could be in ;-)).
But I can see the attraction of trying to separate commands
operating on the device from commands operating on the backend.

thanks
