Is there a Windows Vista download to be able to use SmartDisk High-speed 2x Floppy Drive?

Since it is a USB device, does Windows 98 automatically load the device-driver when it is connected? If not, connect to the Internet, and run Windows Update (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com) and let it scan for updates. When it completes, look at the "optional" updates -- there may be a device-driver that can be downloaded.

Try to use the windows 8 generic floppy drive driver. Legacy hardware is difficult to make work. You might want to see if you can download and install multiple drivers for similar floppy drives and see if one of them works.

you have a compatability issue. I've run into that type of floppy before. time to convert to flash drive.

You should have some USB's on that machine?if so download to a memory stick/flashdrive and do the transfer.

visit the manufacturers web site - look for the suppport page - download what you need

Hello,
Windows Vista carries a lot of glitches ....we need to give it more time as it improves. The XP environment works better with older technologies like the smart disk floppy drive. My advice is for you to partition your hard disk and place Windows XP on one side and still keep the Vista on the other. That way you can have both OSystems and still be able to use your floppy drive. Alternatively you can upgrade and use a flash drive storage or DVD/CD. They are newer technology which are more compatible with Vista.

Cheers & Kind Regards

Hi, Yes it does work with Vista.
Thanks! mannu_rakesh

need manual smartdisk model fdusb-tm

Did it work before?

If yes, then it died.

If no, then replace it.

Good indication that it probably isn't compatible with Vista. The only thing you can do is either return the floppy drive for refund, or downgrade vista to XP so you can use it.
