And at the moment, I don't know how to make those changes, nor to manually add things to the sidebar which I know can be done. I've not made any changes to any factory settings, and a CD/DVD inserted shows up on the desktop and in the sidebar. My assumption is that it will appear on the desktop. I assume you have checked that External Drives are set to show in the Finder Sidebar and/or on the desktop. But I'm slowly catching up on the last 3. Bottom of the knowledge barrel is Win 7, with Vista and OS X being about equal. I know a little about a lot of OS's, including Atari 8-bit & 16/32-bit, DOS w/ Windows for Workgroups and a couple others shells, Win 98, XP, and System 9. Oh, come on! Haven't you heard the old joke about the word assume? ? You clearly know a lot about the subject and I'm rusty on my Mac knowledge at the moment so I suspect my suggestions will be a little basic: of my drive, I know that is false when it comes to my drive. I actually found a post, couple years old, in the Parallels Desktop for Mac forums that said floppies would not work with OS X. But I was willing to accept that, since we are talking a floppy drive here, that Apple may have completely dropped any kind of floppy support by now since they no longer include a floppy in the hardware.

My assumption was always that USB Floppy Drives just presented the system with "USB Mass Storage" and so should work with any OS that recognizes USB Mass Storage.Įssentially, I made the same/similar assumption since this is a USB device. "This mission, should you decide to accept it." LOL
