USB Floppy Disk Drive Support Status

The USB Floppy Enabler (Ver. 2.1.2) makes it possible to install PACE protected applications using an external USB FDD on systems not equipped with internal FDD, such as the Power Macintosh G3 (Blue&WHite), G4, iMac, New PowerBook G3 and G4s, New iMac (including DV and DV Special Edition) and iBook.

PACE protected applications  can be installed to the Power Macintosh G3 (Blue&WHite), G4, iMac, New PowerBook G3 and G4s and New iMac (including DV and DV Special Edition) with the USB Floppy Enabler (Ver. 2.1.2) and the latest device driver from the FDD manufacturer.

We cannot assure normal operation for any USB FDD not on this list, so if you are considering purchasing an USB FDD not on this list, please contact the drive manufacturer for compatibility.

Users who have already installed PACE protected applications  using prior versions of the USB Floppy Enabler are advised to remove the older version from the Extensions folder, and upgrade to the newest version.
