I have one, but I haven't seen that problem.  Did you take the disk out without dragging it to the trash first?  I bet you did, since the drive has a manual eject.  (Works fine with 10.2.6 BTW.)

Drag both icons to the trash, wait for the light to go out (come back on? hmm) and then eject the floppy.  Then start from the beginning.

There may be a plist file you can erase if this keeps happening, but my guess is that it's something like the ghost icons in System 6 (anyone remember that? :-))
