I know that this USB floppy drive has worked. I was successfully reading 
a disk that I needed an image of under Linux. But I also know that a 
disk, that had worked in another PC with a classic floppy drive 
(connected to the FD port on the motherboard), had the same errors using 
the USB floppy drive.

I don't know. It's prooven that it does work -- sometimes. It's also 
prooven that some disks give access errors all the way unter Linux. 
Honestly, I have no idea.
