To Linux, a floppy is just a small removable disk, just like an MO drive is a (moderately) large removable disk.
So if someone tells you that this problem can be caused by a a bad media changed signal, then you should interpret that in the context of your situation: your MO drive seems to have a bad media changed signal...
Wether that's firmware in the MO drive or a physical problem in the drive, I don't know....
