Using the USB FDD with Macintosh
USB Hub
If using a USB Hub to power the USB FDD, be sure to use a self-powered hub that
utilizes an AC power adapter. Do not use bus-powered hubs, such as USB hub
dongles or the USB ports built into keyboards. Bus-powered hubs do not supply
enough power to operate the USB FDD.
Floppy Disks
The USB FDD does not support 2DD 800KB Mac format disks or ProDos (Apple-II)
formatted disks. Do not select this menu on the initialize dialog box.
Some application programs use more than one installation floppy disk.
Application installers sometimes require the use of the auto-eject feature to
switch disks. In such cases, the disk change mechanisms will not work with the
USB FDD.
Floppy disks formatted manually to avoid illegal duplication cannot be installed.
Some CD-ROM software applications may utilize these types of floppy disks.
Auto-Eject
The USB FDD does not support Auto-Eject functions. Floppy disks must be ejected
manually.
Booting
Macintosh does not support booting from the USB FDD.
Mac OS X 10.1 and 10.2
If the floppy disk is not yet formatted for use, a message will appear indicating the
disk will need to be initialized using the Disk Utility program prior to operation.
Messages may slightly vary between different Mac OS systems.
