Floppy to USB for USB Flash/Pen Drives

In today's world of high capacity and high speed storage devices like SSD's everyone  wants to get rid of old  floppy disk and traditional Floppy Drives. The best way to do is to use floppy to usb so that the equipment can use usb as floppy. Unluckily few our older machines , manufactured in 70's, 80's are still dependent or Floppy disks for their prime functionality. Now we have introduced high quality and rugged devices called floppy drive emulators. These floppy drive to usb emulators can practically replace any floppy drive ranging from 1.44mb , 720 kb , 1.2 mb , 1mb with 34 pin as well as 26 pin ziff type interface , with full height and half height versions.  

Convert your legacy Floppy disk drive with our floppy to usb!

Use USB Pen Drive instead of delicate and easily destructible Floppy disks !

Users can store information of up to 100 floppy disk on single flash drive and can operate on the data using these intelligent floppy drive top usb emulators!

With the speedy growth and progress of USB technology, especially USB storage devices and the fast and reliable SSD media, traditional and delicate had to move out of the phase of IT and storage processes.

Lucky were those segment of users who had an option or an easy alternative to change to the SSD / USB storage devices. But there is a large segment of users who still have no alternative as the machines on which the floppy drives are installed does not have any usb interface , or the controllers of these machines does have a very high cost of upgrade. The most cost effective solution for these customers is to install floppy to usb so that they can use usb as floppy. There are many many old machines and devices that are working on old floppy disk drives as the only way of accessing data for processing and can be upgraded to use floppy to usb. These machines are for various categories of users like Robotics from ABB+, CNC , EDM, Wire Cutting , Medical equipments , Knitting , Textile manufacturing , embroidery and several musical instruments from Yamaha and Korg are still fully dependent on floppy drives and so can be upgraded to use usb as floppy. Specially the industrial users have to waste lot of resources like money, time & efforts in inputting data in the machines using floppy disks.

The Good News is that our new floppy drive to usb has brought a ray of hope and freedom from floppy disks for these users.

Now no more waste of time and financial resources as these users you will have complete freedom from floppy disks and will never ever require floppy drives. Using these intelligent floppy to usb will provide users a secure and guaranteed long term solution to the problem of transferring data in industrial machines.

Few of the worries with old Floppy Disk Drive:

  • Difficult to avail on retail stores.
  • Gets damaged by
    • these Floppy disk when are placed in the range of apparatus generating Magnetic effects like Phones, voltage Stabilizers etc loose their contents due to magnetism
    • Dust is the enemy of these Floppy disk and are very quickly effected by dusty places
    • These get wearied out due to mechanically movement
    • Now a day the ratio of bad: good floppy disk in a new box is 7:3 on first use
  • Low storage capacity

Features of our Floppy to usb:

  • Each floppy disk drive in equipments needs to be replaced with one Floppy to usb or one usb as floppy. This new invention of floppy drive to usb has been manufactured in such a way that the connections of interface and power are same, so the installation process needs ZERO  customization while replacing the floppy disk drive with this floppy disk to usb.
  • Each USB Flash Drive that is to be used in these floppy drive to usb can store data of 100 floppy disks at a time.
  • These floppy disk to usb USB and usb flash drives are almost resistant rather immune to damages created from the magnetic field, untidy dusty environment and  shocks.
  • A software which is provided at Zero cost with floppy drive to usb, which formats a USB flash drive in 100 partitions of 1.44/1.2/720 kb size each.

These Floppy to USB are boon for all end users who are still stuck with old floppy disk drive for transfer data.

The most noticeable feature of floppy drive to usb is that Zero customizations needs to be done at equipment level. Its Just Plug and Play!

This USB as floppy gives a new life to your old machines as it takes over the place of substitutes the old legacy floppy disk drive!

  • Data of upto 100 floppy disk size on a single USB Flash Drive!
  • Reliable media of storage!

Types of available Interface for Floppy to usb

1.) 34 Pin Standard FDD Interface - These version of floppy drive to usb are with standard FDD height and are available in 1.44 MB , 720 KB Double Density and 1.2 MB format versions

2.) 26 Pin Ziff Type FDD Interface  - These versions of floppy to usb are with Half height or slim version which are available in 1.44 MB and 1.2 MB format versions

3.) USB Port Floppy Emulator         -  These 1.44 MB versions of usb as floppy are for new generation computers and laptops which do not come with standard 34 pin FDD Interface. These act as a USB Floppy drive for these machines when plugged on the USB port.

Why should I Convert Floppy to USB?

From last so many years the floppy disk and the slow RS232 serial communication was the unique means to transfer data from a computer to system. These days the floppy discs are phasing out and are very hard to find in computers and are rarely seen on any shops. So in different countries like UK & USA vendors are providing replacements of floppy drives. But, what will happen if a very expensive industrial machines is stalled for just because that there is no floppy drive compatible to your machine in the market to replace the defective floppy disk drive. We definitely hope that users will not be with the mind to store hundreds of them to keep the machine running?

Now there is no need to worry, as almost everyone has and alternative which will allows to convert floppy to usb on almost any industrial machine or old computer currently working on floppy drive. The best thing is that there is no need to change or upgrade any software or any wiring circuit so as to upgrade the old machines to use USB as floppy.  You only need to swap the floppy to usb by replacing the old floppy drive with this usb as floppy. There are no tedious steps involved in it , and no engineering level experience required to use the  floppy to usb. Just disconnect the old floppy drive and change with the new floppy disk to usb and that's all!  After swapping the floppy drive with floppy disk to usb your machine will now be able to run for another many more years without any worries of floppy drive and you will be able to use usb as floppy.

How floppy drive to usb works?

The floppy to usb gets itself installed on the standard 34 pin or 26 pin Ziff type interface of machine and fools the machines as if it was still connected with a floppy drive. When the machine tries to read or write or try to perform any action of floppy disk drive, it sends a signal to floppy drive to usb  which is connected on the FDD channel. Here the magic of floppy drive to usb starts. It reads the USB pen drive connected and then emulates the data to be processed as a floppy drive thereby treating usb as floppy, thereby transferring the data to the machine/device/equipment in the same way that is used by standard floppy drives. In simple words, your equipment will never come to know that the information it was trying to get actually came from a USB flash drive.

Embroidery machines like Tajima, Melco, SWF, Lasser , Saurer , Happy , Barudan and Brother can easily be configured to read from USB Flash drives using these easy to install floppy to usb.

Just for the compatibility issues there are 2 different dimensions of  floppy disk to usb available with us. One is the standard 34 pin full height interface version of floppy to usb which comes with 3 different format versions i.e 1.44mb , 720 kb double density and 1.2 mb formats. The second type of floppy drive to usb is with 26 pin Ziff type interface with half height slim version which comes is 1.44 , 720 kb double density versions.
