Floppy drive to the rescue

These things still aren't obsolete anymore. Our company hasn't made the switch to Vista, despite PC manufacturers pretty much dropping XP offerings at this point. I recently received a new laptop pre-loaded with Vista. The mass-storage drivers were designed for Vista and XP had no idea what they were. Enter the TEAC USB floppy drive. Unlike a USB thumb drive, the USB floppy is "seen" within XP setup as a normal floppy drive (therefore I was able to load drivers from there). The item was a great price, and was shipped very quickly. We've used the unit on more than one occasion since then to retrieve data from the never-say-die floppies.

External USB Floppy drive

This external drive is a real lifesaver in permitting me to access 3-1/2" disks. My new computer did not have a floppy drive but now I can maintain or transfer all of my old files.

It works

I bought this because the only working floppy drive in my house was the one in the computer I was trying to repair.

I was able to read, write, and format floppy disks in Windows XP Pro (32 bit) and Windows Vista Ultimate (64 bit) environments. No driver installation was necessary.

I have not attempted to use this drive for SATA driver F6 disks during Windows installation, although I strongly suspect that it would work.

I was able to use this USB floppy drive as a boot device by setting my BIOS to boot to floppy. No fuss. Much more than I expected from the drive.
