Do floppy drives need driver files ?

The question is seeming more stupid by the minute.

At this point I am assuming they do not, and that is why they are used for first devices when reformating hard drives ?

 

So if I switch my floppy with another of "simular" make /size / year, though from a different manufacturer , can I assume that the system will detect and run it ?

1) No. Well, yes, but they are a part of the core OS, so you donot need on for a standard floppy (5.25 or 3.5 up to 1.44Mb)

 

2) Yes.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Cheers,
