FAQ

Does this drive work with Mac computers?

The drive is primarily designed for Windows operating systems. While it may be recognized by macOS, full read/write functionality is not guaranteed.

Can I use a USB hub to connect the drive?

For optimal performance, connect the drive directly to a computer’s USB port. Using a hub may not provide sufficient power, leading to read errors.

What is the warranty period?

Pilipane offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and hardware failures.

Is any software needed to read old floppy formats?

No additional software is required for standard 1.44 MB floppy disks. Specialized formats may need third‑party utilities.

How do I prevent disk jamming?

Ensure disks are clean and free of debris, insert them gently, and avoid using damaged media. The built‑in anti‑jam mechanism further reduces the risk.
