Comments about LaCie External Floppy Disk Drive USB 2.0 for PC/Mac:
Unfortunately, the LaCie external USB floppy disk drive did not succeed in loading/mounting any of my 3.5 inch 1.4MB floppy disks formatted for Mac on my current iMac Intel Core 2 Duo using OS 10.7. Accordingly, I was unable to retrieve any floppy disk files using this drive.

This hot swappable floppy drive actually works on the Mac OS. ( A few others I have tried do not work on the MacBook Pro.) ++++B&H++++ I have some legacy hardware that uses floppies so these are a great addition to the labs.

Comments about LaCie External Floppy Disk Drive USB 2.0 for PC/Mac:
Yes I know, floppy discs are history. But I want to be able to play them if the occasion should arise and this LaCie unit is priced right. And drives like this are already hard to find. And I'm only half kiding about the best use listed above
