USB Floppy Drive (social.jlamothe.net)

Came across an old USB floppy drive. I plugged it into my machine and it shows up, but I can't tell it it's actually working or not. When plugged in, it sounds like it's continuously reading, so I kind of want to test it. Can you even buy floppy disks any more?

That said, if I don't have any disks, I guess the question of whether or not it works is moot anyways.

I picked up an Amiga at a yard sale and found floppy disks on Amazon. I didn't bother buying any and instead bought a gotek floppy disk emulator.
