Has anybody tried the USB floppy disk driver in awhile? I just did to
read an old disk, and I couldn't read a single byte.
I started thinking maybe the hardware's bad, but dd didn't raise en
error even after I pulled it out and got "USB Disconnect" on the
screen from kernel log.
I still don't know if the code is broken or if my hardware's bad. It
worked 15 years ago with a 2.6 series kernel.
Kernel version:
joshua@nova:~ϟ uname -a
Linux nova 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.82-1+deb9u3 (2018-03-02)
x86_64 GNU/Linux

Both (!) of my USB floppy drives work [on 4.16.6].
