@TwoBeeSan @dosuser123456 Where does one even buy floppies any more?

@ewo As far as I know, it is. That said, sometimes you need to poke membership a few times to get them to respond. It's an SDF tradition, I think.

USB Floppy Drive (social.jlamothe.net)
 

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.

@murph It does. Try finger [email protected] (that's me).

You can run the command finger [email protected] to see if an account with that name exists.
