   Note that USB floppy disk drives only read 'high density' (1.4MB) diskettes,   
   not the 720kb diskettes. If you look at your diskettes you can visually tell   
   the difference - the 1.4MB ones have two square cut-outs in the top corner,   
   one with the little open/close write protect window, the other just open. The   
   720kb diskettes have just the write protect hole.   
      
   Your Win/WFWG diskettes are probably 1.4MB high density ones, but maybe not!   
      
   I might have WFWG on CD (and it might be readable!) if it's useful to you....   
   let me know if you want me to look for it.
