TEAC External USB Floppy Drive ( FD05PUB/KIT/TI ) Reviews
A+++ Simply type on your computer (including formatting) what you want the typewriter to type for you, then take the disk out of the drive and put it in the typewriter, and you're good to go. Fast ship, good communication on shipping status, etc. This external floppy drive is a MUST for the EM630 Typewriter. A GREAT little product for the price - is also perfect for those that still use 3.5" floppy disks for other things. It simply plugs into your computer via a USB cable thats hard-wired right to the disk drive.
I was able to read, write, and format floppy disks in Windows XP Pro (32 bit) and Windows Vista Ultimate (64 bit) environments. No driver installation was necessary. I bought this because the only working floppy drive in my house was the one in the computer I was trying to repair. I was able to use this USB floppy drive as a boot device by setting my BIOS to boot to floppy. No fuss. I have not attempted to use this drive for SATA driver F6 disks during Windows installation, although I strongly suspect that it would work. Much more than I expected from the drive.
to fix the problem. Buyer beware. Specs did not disclose that this floppy drive is not recognized by Mac OS 10.5.X. When plugged in, the drive will appear in Desktop and Finder as an "untitled" drive. However, it is not specifically recognized as a "floppy drive." The manufacturer's support department failed to respond to emailed request for assistance (driver available).

I recently received a new laptop pre-loaded with Vista. These things still aren't obsolete anymore. We've used the unit on more than one occasion since then to retrieve data from the never-say-die floppies. 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). The item was a great price, and was shipped very quickly. Our company hasn't made the switch to Vista, despite PC manufacturers pretty much dropping XP offerings at this point.
