I was under the impression an external USB floppy wouldn't work under FreeDOS 1.3, but I just noticed my installation of FreeDOS 1.3 on a circa 2011 Gateway laptop with an external USB Chuanganzhuo floppy does work.
I'm not sure what driver FreeDOS is using on the Gateway, but if I plug the floppy into my HP Windows 10 laptop, it says it's a TEAC USB UF1000x USB device using a default Windows sfloppy.sys driver. It was plug-n-play. I didn't install any drivers on either laptop. I didn't buy this floppy drive for FreeDOS. My main FreeDOS machine has a builtin floppy drive. I bought it to read some old floppies on my HP Windows 10 laptop. -- It's all fun and games until someone divides by zero.
