Will this read Imation and Universal disks? I have ordered 2 other Floppy disks and they won't read these.

I bought this so that my wife can transfer files from a PC to a sewing/embrodery machine she uses. She say it has been working fine. Not sure what you are saying about imitation disk, but we just use whatever is lying around, mostly reformatting old disks. Hope this helps.

I have only used it to read some old 3M and TDK disks that had data on them but it worked like a champ on everything I have tried.

Well, I have some old Verbatim and 3M floppies. And the external floppy I bought described here worked very well. I don't know why they would not work for you. If they are corrupted or they are non-functional that may be the case. Sorry I could not give you something more.

I would guess yes it does, I know it works with embroidery machines. Check out your current drive if it's standard power plug and data cable for floppy, this should work. Te biggest problem is formatting your thumb drive properly, I have some links to the software if you need it.

I think I know what you are asking here.You wanna know if this product will even work if it isnt reading your audio discs,right? When you put a disc in and close the tray does the machine TRY to read the disc? Do you hear it spinning? If so,this will probably work for you.If it doesnt even try to read the disc (if you dont hear it spinning) then it probably wont work.Hope this helps!!

Floppy isn't being read probably due to track alignment differences between drive used to create the floppy and trying to read it on another device. If you have an unformatted floppy, format it, and it should work.

This device is delivered as being formatted FAT32, so it should work for this purpose right out of the box. If it doesn't then a simple reformat should make it compatible with both operating systems. I have 10 of these and they have all been flawless. Mine didn't come with a cover as it was originally listed with, but that has been my only issue.

I'm not going to be much of a help here. Sorry. This floppy reader is cheap so I felt it wasn't a very big investment whether or not it worked on my PC. I just plug it into my WIN 8.1 PC and it is recognized as another drive. Then I put a floppy into the "drive" (reader) and can access it just like my hard drive (C) or my thumb drives (usually D or F). As to whether or not your grading program will work on your WIN 8.1 Asus, all you can do is try installing it. If it is too old, maybe it won't work. However, I am still using a travel/map program I bought in 2001. The CD says it will install in Windows 94, 98, NT, Me or 2000. That is OLD! It took me multiple tries but I finally got it to load properly. Guess the next revision of Windows may not recognize it and the company's out of business, but that's what happens with favorite programs, isn't it? Good luck with loading your program.

its sdhc........check and read your manual and see what type of disks will work with it.....i would assume it will, i will tell you that you will need a sdhc card reader to look at photos off the disk

I have not oprned the package, the usb floppy disc drive I am currently using has occassionally refused to release the disc for removal, but is still working so this Amazon purchase was bought while available if replcement is necessary. No 5¼" dirve is noted on the package but states "compatible Mac OSX, Windows 7, Windoes Vista and Wndows XP". also compatible with USB 1.1/2.0/3..... unfortunately, I am not a computer expert, just know the basics which is adequate for an 89 y.o.

I don't know that answer as I own an SWF machine which is replaces the floppy drive via a ribbon cable and works fine. It doesn't fit exactly though....just saying.

If you are asking if this drive works for downloading 3.5 floppy discs. You have a 50/50 chance. I have had nothing buy bad luck with this product. Wish I could help.

I did not format the drive as it was from an older computer and I needed the files from it. If it was a new drive you may need to format it. Most new ones are formatted to use with a Windows computer. I have a Mac and they pretty much will read anything. If it was a new drive I would format it just to make sure it worked with my computer, Mac or PC.

I do not have windows 8. This I will say, all previous OS'S with a usb connection will recognize the drive. The floppy disc contents will open if the file association to a program is installed on your computer.

I had a small box of floppy discs that I wanted to see the contents, but the drive did not work with them. It would keep indicating that the was not formatted. Not being a computer expert, I just gave up and destroyed the floppies.

The iMac will read any files on there just fine, however to add anything from the iMac the flash drive would have to be formatted as FAT (instead of NTFS) so that both computers can save to it. Remember to save anything you need before formatting!

I don't have one of those discs, but I'm sure it will read it, just as if it were an internal disc drive.

Yes, the drive does write files to the floppy disk. However, I had it connected to my computer for over 12 hours, and there was a "disk error" that caused my computer to crash. I started the computer right back up, though. I decided for the future, to just use the drive for short periods, and I believe things would be fine.

You should be able to recover data if your computer is set up to get into the external floppy disk. I have no problem with mine.
