Has anyone sucessfully tried to use a USB imation superdrive on 4.x? If so, does it work properly with all the media supported by the hw? -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It is supported by the afd(4) driver and I have been able to read both the 120M format disks and regular 1.4M floppies. The only thing I kind of think didn't work right was using fdformat to low-level format floppies (this is not necessary for LS-120 disks as the tracks are optically etched on them at the factory). But it has been quite a while and my memory is a little fuzzy in that area. The drive is still detected by 4.9, but I haven't actually used it since upgrading to that. Unfortunately the drivers are rather hard to come by these days. Craig
