Hi Dicky I remember this question from a few months back, especially because I've run out of space in my half height PC case too.
The USB floppy drives simply aren't sophisticated enough to read non-standard disks, and never will be able to either. In order to run SamDisk you need to install an extra dll (I think?) to converse with the floppy drive controller, and that isn't connected with a USB port. Sorry about that!

Samdisk doesn't support USB floppy drives and I'm not sure of any other software that can do this. I'm trying to recover all the E-tracker music I created back in the day. I'm trying to find an app that will make an image of the floppy disk, which then I maybe could mount that as a virtual floppy drive and samdisk could then work. No luck so far. Anyone have any ideas?
