USB Adapter for floppy Superdrive?

[Mac128]

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.

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.
