USB floppy disk?

[icbrkr]

I'm fairly certain I know the answer to this - but is it possible to mount a USB floppy drive under 4.1?

Most of todays USB devices come either with a driver on it's hardware or with a software driver.
The latter won't work since the software won't run.
IF it features a hardware driver AND mounts itself as some kind of (slow) mass storage device, it *could* be possible to use (read/write - albeit i doubt it will support any of amiga's special floppy methods).

Normally i'd go with "No", since there is no USB driver"

luckily I found a drive an was abler to test it. The result:

it does work on x1000 with a TEAC UFD-03 external Floppy Drive Unit.
It does not read floppies from the "Classic" Commodore Amiga 68k-hardware-Era formatted floppies however.

so we learned something new today..

I didn't expect to read original floppy disks so I'm good there. Was it just plug and play? Or did you do something differently?

Awesome, thanks. I'm off to find one of these to use.
