Re: USB floppy drive in OS X and OS 9

[Peter Tattersall]

FWIW I take my iBook to work even though I've been supplied with a 
ThinkPad. The ThinkPad doesn't have a built-in floppy, but came with a 
USB drive. Works fine on both machines, one running Windoze 2000 and 
the other running OS X 10.2.6. For a while I was using it to transfer 
files, but for the last few months I've been using a RAMdrive I picked 
up in a liquidation store.

Is this an OS 9/X thing (I haven't used floppy disks since I had OS

Or is
this the floppy drive?
	I'd bet it is the floppy drive which is kafluie, as my VST USB FD
works just fine in 9.1 althought I haven't tried it in OSX.  I think 
I've
seen something about them not working in 0SX, though.
