For me, and I read it in other places, TEAC seems to be to only usb floppy that continues to work when loading an Operating system on a laptop with sata hard drive. I was using a Sony usb floppy and every time I got to the second sata driver on the floppy the Sony failed to be "seen" by the laptop and my install would come to a screeching halt. from Amazon.com If a format was attempted, it failed to complete the format process. I returned the item and went looking for something better. I'm giving it two stars instead of one because I'm familiar with TEAC products and assume this is an isolated issue. from Amazon.com This external floppy drive is a MUST for the EM630 Typewriter!! It simply plugs into your computer via a USB cable thats hard-wired right to the disk drive. from Amazon.com 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). from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com had no hassles using it with xp or 98se.my bois supports usb bootable devices and this drive had no problems doing that in both oses . from Dell.com it simply plugs into your computer via a usb cable thats hard-wired right to the disk drive. from Amazon.com for me, and i read it in other places, teac seems to be to only usb floppy that continues to work when loading an operating system on a laptop with sata hard drive. from Amazon.com if you need to install f6 drivers, or if you need a floppy to boot from (say you are using an older sys-restore program - such as 'secondchance') this item is a 5; however, if you just need (? from Amazon.com my new computer did not have a floppy drive but now i can maintain or transfer all of my old files. from Amazon.com
