If you want to try USB support, download the 2.2.43 kernel (neither of the
next two build here) and inspect its documentation. Note the latest
Changes doc is NOT included, but I think there's a web ref for it.
If you like what you see, get the necessary upgrades (you can probably get
them from rawhide and they will install just fine) and try building
yourself a kernel.
Alternatively, get a standard FDD.
