Slow Floppy in Linux

[Misfit138]

I put a floppy in the drive, which has previously been formatted with fat32. I try to drag and drop the contents of a SATA RAID driver disk into the floppy. It starts churning away forever and ever, it is EXTREMELY SLOW. It will start by saying 32KB/s, but drops immediately to 16, 10, 8 then it says "stalled" every few seconds...can I fix this somehow? or is writing to fat32 floppies in Linux just slow?

here is my fstab floppy section


# fd: H1440
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,sync,exec,rw 0 0

Solved by changing

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,sync,exec,rw 0 0

to

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,async,exec,rw 0 0
