mount USB floppy drive


I have no floppy drive in my Dell PowerEdge system.
But I do have a USB floppy connected.

How do I mount this USB floppy drive?
Of course, the usual fd0 does not work.

Open a terminal and type "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | less" and see if there's an entry for your USB floppy drive. There should be a field labeled "Driver:" - if it has "(none)" after it, then there's no driver for it (try Google to see if someone's written one), otherwise there is a driver for it. Try "cat /proc/partitions | less" to see if you can find where it's mapped, so it can be mounted. If you can't figure this out, just post the contents of /proc/bus/usb/devices and /proc/partitions.
