A friend's mum has some childhood photos on a "thing" she wanted me to access. Turns out to be an old floppy drive. I dusted off my old UltrayBay floppy drive for the T21 laptop I still have kicking around.

I had to reboot to get floppy drive to show on desktop. But it reads all disks as blank, regardless of content. So I cannot say for sure if these photos can be accessed or not.

I know it's ancient tech, but quite important to get working in this instance...

I have tried loading floppy module:

sudo modprobe floppy

But no dice.
