thebeephaha Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 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.

KasperNL Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 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?

fireshark Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Internal floppy drives haven't been used since the first ever iMac in 1996. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39945-so-anyone-get-a-floppy-drive-to-work/#findComment-318315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret-Simpson Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 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.
