Evening Bryan,
I've got a USB floppy as I have a lot of material on floppies and it is
OK on Vista and Ubuntu (under VMware). But i'm told that W7 has no
floppy support. Can anyone confirm this?
Sorry no. However, i did a quick google for "Windows 7 +floppy" and got
quite a few hits. The first page seems to be all about:
* Win7 not (always( recognising USB floppies
* Win7 corrupting floppies during formatting
* Win7 not writing to floppies
* Etc.
So, it appears that floppies might be supported but that the support is
a tad on the flaky side. Which is surprising really as DOS/Win1 through
Vista all supported and were able to work with floppies.
Cheers,
Norm.
