Very helpful! I had kept five or six vintage PCs around with floppy drives just in case I ever wanted to read from old disks, but today I discovered none of the PCs will boot for various reasons. An external floppy drive makes a heck of a lot of sense and allows me to recycle all my old gear finally.
Thank you so much for showing this video. I’m struggling with what to do with a lot of info stocked in floopies😂
I got one of those ages ago and used it to install DOS 6.1 from floppies in a virtual machine.
Good info., thanks.
Thank you nice to know that it will work on raspbian os
This pretty much confirms it, I'm including two floppy drives for my Pi project involving a 1993 Apple IIe Platinum.
Never heard of power shell...
do u know about the Catweasel mk4 pci express card? (board) for pcs ? i am about to buy one but need to know do Individual Computers still sell these catweasel boards? thanks...............i want the 3.5 inch floppy drive as internal plus the catweasel plugged into the pci express slot !! any ideas thanks how much these are and where can i get them from and where can i download the programs (software) for it from????????? thanks.....................
Hi Rick, late to the party here, but I bought one of these USB floppy drives to use with Windows 10 and it was able to bring up a directory of the FIRST floppy disk I put in it, but when I swapped out that disk for another, it said that the drive was unreadable, tries several different disks with no luck. Tried rebooting my PC, and then I couldn't read ANY floppies in the drive at all. I assume that you tried reading more than one disk in Windows 10? I checked the driver, but Win10 said that I had the right driver installed. Did you have to install any other drivers to get it working properly? Many others on Amazon have described similar issues with these drives and Windows 10. Did some googling and the suggestions on Microsoft forums were useless. Any thoughts?
Did you ever find the solution to this? I saw the same complaints on Amazon.
someone having any issues on mac OS?
Sounds like either the driver or the device itself may have crapped out on you.
I happen to have a USB floppy drive and I"ll be using it in my build using an old OG Xbox case.
Hi Rick. I would like to know if that floppy drive can convert a floppy disk into a wav file?I see that you converted you information from that floppy to a picture. Can it down load music files from the mpc 60 ii?
I don't have any experience with that system. There might be software available online to pull the music from the disk. You might try doing specific searches on your device.
I bought a Tendak floppy disk drive, not the one in your demo, but it is also described on Amazon as "for mac". Its instruction leaflet makes no mention of Mac however and it won't do anything with my (old, 2012) Macbook Pro. Is it just misdescribed by Amazon or can it be that my Mac is too old or requires installing something?
Do you have another computer (Mac or preferable, a PC) you could try it on? I would think it would work on a Mac. You might also try rebooting the Mac and trying the other USB port on the Mac.
Encouraged by your reply, I tried again. It works after all! Either because I changed to the other port or because it turns out the first disks I tried were empty - most likely that. Sorry, I was stupid and thanks for reacting.
So I got one of these for Christmas. I was excited because I have a lot of floppy disks with pictures on them going back to 1999. When I plugged this into my laptop that has win 10. I as able to find A::, but gave me message that A drive was unaccessible and disk may not be formatted. I don’t want to format disk and loose everything on them, what can I do to make them so computer can read them?
Do you know if your floppies were originally created on a Mac or PC?
That's good to know. I have a bunch of old 1.44 Mac floppies, so I know that drive should read them okay. Unfortunately, I also have a bunch of 800k Mac floppies that I'd like to read and not finding an inexpensive solution to read them. The time to have copied off that info from those disks would have been 1999 when I still had a Mac that could read them.
On a related note, I saw this video the other day: ua-cam.com/video/G39BzvdWadQ/v-deo.html Not sure what she is planning but it would be interesting if she figured an easy way to read these floppies. Lady Ada is pretty genius.
I think there is a catch with linux, first of all making ticking noise until you insert a floppy. Writing only happens if you unmount and takes a very long time to write, either it just hangs with large files.
You can disable this behaviour, but it becomes very unreliable.
Now time to build a raspberry pi cyberdeck with built in floppy support
Rick, I am not knowledgeable in technology at all. I want to buy a floppy disk reader to get old photos onto my computer (Windows 10). I am fearful I will get it home and it will not work because of something I did or did not do. My question is do you have to do all the typing like you did to get your laptop to read the disk? I thought you could just slide the floppy disk in the reader and it would show up on the screen like you do with a flash drive or a card reader..
I was just doing tests. You can just plug it in and use it like a card reader.
Okay good, I've been in the market for a Floppy Disk reader, and as I thought, there's no reason why it shouldn't read.
Can we plug the Floppy disk reader into the Emulator USB? Does it read the files?
If the emulator supports USB passthrough or similar, I'm guessing it would work.
Can this thing write on a floppy disk too or it just reads?
It can write too.
why is this the ONLY floppy drive that seems to work? I have 3 external floppies that don't work but this one does
That's odd. I would think most use similar hardware.
