USB Adapter for floppy Superdrive?
Would it be possible to connect an old floppy Superdrive via USB?
Can't be done I'm afraid.
Probably can be done, but you'd need to design a hardware interface, plus write a software driver.
Good luck.

Could be done, but your time is a finite resource. Use it wisely.Would it be possible to connect an old floppy Superdrive via USB?
Yeah...it probably could be done...i'm just thinking about what you'd need on both ends. You'd need a SWIM controller on one end for the floppy drive (or something similar to a SWIM controller, anyway), and circuitry on the other end that adapts said SWIM controller to run on the USB bus and makes the computer recognise it as a standard USB Mass Storage Device. It'd be a mad mad wild hack, but if you've got the money and the smarts, it'd be doable.
When I said, "Can't be done", I should've elaborated some more...what I meant is that there's no prefabricated solutions that allows the above to happen, you'd have to either build it yourself, or pay someone else to do it.
