## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use this to also save to flippy disks ?**
A: Yes you can, just remember to toggle the tab on the disk. You may not be old enough to remember to do that!

**Q: Does this drive work with windows 10?**
A: Yes, it runs with Windows 10. I have two of them and a supply of 3.5” floppy disks which I use for security reasons. Confidential and private information is held on the drive and never gets in to my regular PC.
The amount of people who use floppy disks is almost zero in this day and age. I find them very useful even considering that the disk don’t hold much information.

**Q: Does windows 10 recognize floppy drive?**
A: Yes, it works good on Windows 10,

**Q: Can I receive and print my photos**
A: I'm not clear what you think this reader is. If you have 3.5" floppy disks with photos on then you should be able to read/view them through this drive (if they are in a relevant format).
I have not had huge success reading old floppies, but that could be a problem with the disks. Some worked, some not.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amiga Drawbridge Compatibile
*by P***P on 29 March 2025*

I bought this drive because it was recommended on the Rob Smith Tech DrawBridge discord. It is one of the USB drives that has a ribbon connector internally that allows the Amiga Drawbridge adapter to be installed. The case is quite tricky to get apart to make the installation of the new board, but once completed the drive worked flawlessly. Finally I can read and write Amiga floppy disks on my PC.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use and does the job
*by P***E on 28 September 2021*

I believe it only works with rigid floppy disks in a casing, not the very 1st type that were flexible, which were in use in pre-historic times, around 1990-1995. I am talking about the very first floppy disks, which were actually floppy and of a bigger size, which older users will remember.Otherwise, I have been able to retrieve old WORD documents I was looking for, which were going back to 1997-1999, and was pleased with that. It works fine. It is easy to use. A good buy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent value but some limitations
*by K***K on 13 August 2021*

I have several hundred old floppy discs dating back to my university lecturings days when I had to use them to store all my lectures, images and other documents. I needed a cheap reader to check I was not discarding any important information. My PC recognised the drive immediately the first time and I started on the task of looking at each floppy, saving what I needed to my PC and then discarding the old floppy discs.. I then closed down the system and, on returning to the task the next day, my PC failed to recognise the reader. Eventually I realised I had to delete the reader files and reload. It then worked again recognising most of the information. One or two older Windows 95 files were not recognised. I am not technologically very literate but managed to find the right reader files to delete so that, when inserted in my PC, it worked again. I have a HP Prodesk PC with a USB port on the front. This worked perfectly. Overall, I am very pleased with the reader and would recommend it.
