Connecting the USB floppy diskette drive
To connect the drive, plug the floppy diskette drive's USB connector into a
computer's USB port.
Make sure the connector is properly aligned with the socket. Do not try to
force the connection, doing so can damage the connecting pins.
If you connect the USB floppy diskette drive after the computer has already
been turned on, it will take about ten seconds for it to be recognized by the
computer. Do not attempt to disconnect and reconnect the drive before this
period has elapsed.
