Came across an old USB floppy drive. I plugged it into my machine and it shows up, but I can’t tell it it’s actually working or not. When plugged in, it sounds like it’s continuously reading, so I kind of want to test it. Can you even buy floppy disks any more?

That said, if I don’t have any disks, I guess the question of whether or not it works is moot anyways.

    Yes, was about to post Greaseweazle. That and whatever scavenged drive sounds like the way to go in general. I don’t have one yet just because it costs the right amount to go on my gift wishlist, lol.
