Trying to pull some old data off of floppies, but having no luck. I only have a couple of Windows 10 and a Mac OS X computer available at the moment. I do have 2 of these Fujitsu UF0002 USB 3.5" floppy drives though. Unfortunately when I plug them into the Mac nothing happens at all. On the PCs it throws a warning about something being wrong with the hardware and they don't show up. Should these work? Trying to determine if I really have 2 bad drives on my hands or if I'm just missing a software piece.

  "Device Descriptor Request Failed" That sounds like a hardware error or something very low in the driver stack. One thing to try is switching to a USB 2.0 port on your computer if you're currently using a USB 3.n gen1 (or worse, a 3.1 gen2) port. In theory it shouldn't make a difference, in practice it often does.

"does not work" Errors are always a guesswork.

Oh, "Device Descriptor Request Failed" does show up in device manager

Well, this can have many issues.

• Starting with a bad connector. A first step would be trying a different port of this PC, maybe it's the port (dirty etc.). Trying on a different PC also may help to diagnose.




• Since the device shows up in device manager, uninstalling it and searching again may resolve it.




• I wouldn't go so far an reinstall the USB driver - this has been a good way in XP, but no longer with W10.

For further analyze more information would be helpful. You may take a look into the device details and see if windows can at least get some basic information - like VID/PID.

• If it doesn't, then the very basic is screwed - as in port or controller damaged.



• 
  

  if it does, it's more likely a driver error than a hardware one.

  
  
  

  I say more likely, as there are more weird faults than atoms in this universe - heck, I even once had a 6502 with a dead decimal flag :))

  
  

Oh, and then there are the USB suspension settings of Win10. While great in general, they can fail with older devices.
