Have now received the USB-disks (the inbuilt drive of my old stationary PC does not work
) and it works with QPC2 but neither with Q-Emulator (assigned A: to Slot 1) nor with UQLX on Windows with WSL2 (used DEVICE = /mnt/c/a in .uqlxrc) nor sQLux (tried DEVICE = A:/ and DEVICE = /mnt/c/a). I will look if theres something like SUBST (DOS command) for Windows, so that one can map the floppy drive to a directory?
Why /mnt/c/a? That would translate to C:\a
I dont personally use windows so Im not sure if DEVICE=FLP1,A:,qdos-like would work or not!
What absolutely wont work as windows doesnt have the same all devices are files as POSIX OSes, is DEVICE=FLP1,A:,qdos-native

I've not used the USB floppy drive directly with any emulators. I've used 'dd' to make a floppy image file and that works fine with the emulators. I don't plan on writing to floppy, but now I can archive the ones that I have.

@swensont, I tried a usb floppy on sqlux not long ago. I couldn't format it, but I could use the drive to boot from and write to it etc.

Scratch that, if your an Administrator then DEVICE=FLP1,\\.\PhysicalDeviceX,qdos-native should work. replace X with the proper number for the floppy disk!
