I need to be able to move small amounts of data among various
legacy and modern machines, including machines deliberately
not networked.
SneakerNet would be attractive if all had floppy drives.
Or maybe I could use CD, if I could figure out how to write
a multisession CD.
Using drutil on Mac OS X seemingly yields CDs that are fine on the
Mac, but unreadable on Ubuntu 6.06 and Windows '98.
Or maybe the correct mount command would make them readable on
Unubtu.
One Windows '98 machine is a Toshiba and I'm not sure how to
upgrade it to SE, so it can write CDs.
So,
If I buy a $12 USB floppy drive, will I be able to find a
driver for Ubuntu?
One advertised drive explicitly says it won't run on Linux
(whatever that means).
Thanks.
