I was just curious, I never use floppy drives but I have a drive in my hackintosh one so I might as well get it to work.

I was wondering if there's a way to get a legacy floppy drive to work..
Aren't there any Darwin drivers for these type of controlers / drives?

Internal floppy drives haven't been used since the first ever iMac in 1996.

That means no.

Swap it out for an iomega Zip drive. I'm pretty sure they can read legacies.

Ok, apparently not. Must be thinking of floptical drives.

Forget it and use a USB one.

Even on a Macitoshes with Floppy drives when you insert one is not recognized, I did it with that with a Power Macintosh 8600 with Mac OS X 10.1
