<p>Jiří Kosina, the Czech Linux kernel developer in charge of the floppy drive driver, said he&nbsp; no longer had working hardware. “Actual working physical floppy hardware is getting hard to find, and while Willy was able to test this, I think the driver can be considered pretty much dead from an actual hardware standpoint.&nbsp; The hardware that is still sold seems to be mainly USB-based, which doesn’t use this legacy driver at all,” wrote Linus Torvalds on a discussion thread.
