Floppy disk drive (USB) + GNU/Linux

Today I used a floppy diskette drive (USB) for the first time in years, to migrate some media I had in long-term storage.

NOTES

• Noises of floppy drive brought a smile -- though I seem to recall if the floppy sounds that bad, it most likely will not last much longer (?)
• Purchased the FDD for ~$15
• For GNU/Linux, I ended up mounting the USB floppy as follows:
• Connect the drive and USB
• sudo blkid -c /dev/null
• This will list your device (for me, it was /dev/sdb)
• Alternatively: 
• udisks --mount /dev/sdb
• Nautilus then displayed the drive
• To unmount, I used Nautilus

Not pretty, but we got there--now I can ditch this old media! Next weekend, I will tackle some old ZIP disks.
