Neither of them work with the USB 3.0 ports but they do work with the USB 2.0 ports. I do have a couple Sony Vaio USB floppy drives, one of which is definitely supposed to support 3-mode. Same thing happens though if I try to format 720k without covering the hole that tells the drive that it is 1.44MB. ![]() ![]() Neither of the Dell models I have that support USB (FDDM-101 and MPF82E ) and the Smartdisk 2x USB drive all return an error saying "Parameters not supported by drive". I'm testing in Windows 10 command prompt so that may be part of it but I am not sure. Technically it's a TEAC but either is hard to come by (and with IBM branded ones the 3-mode support is only up to certain manufacturing date!). Most "western" FDD don't support it even in native mode, much less over USB.Ĭurrently I'm using IBM FD-05PUB and it does support all modes but I'm worried it might die someday and so I'm looking for a backup. The problem is different rotation speed (360rpm vs 300rpm). Does it work with 3.5" floppies formatted to 1.2MB? Also known as 3-mode, older Japanese systems used this format.
