Is this due to the need to boot into DOS to run a firmware utility or<br>
something similar? If so, you can create a bootable, DOS USB flash<br>

I don&#39;t flash much these days. And for times when I feel the need to, I go about it by whatever other means is necessary to avoid anything to do with floppies.<br><br>That&#39;s not to say that the Linux kernel should not support floppy drives.
