USB Memory Stick - Floppy Drive

[pig]

Is there a way to have a memory stick show and be used as a floppy drive
under Windows XP Pro?

I have a few programmes that require a floppy drive but I don't have one
fitted.

Unfortunately this does not emulate a floppy disk drive which is what I am
trying to achieve.

If the programs don't accept a flash drive mounted at A:\,
then the only way is an USB floppy drive.
An flash drive that appears as floppy is possible but I've
never seen such a device. No market...

Hello Pig
Normally if you insert the stick into the USB port the OS recognises it and
says "found new hardware" and then allocates a letter code for the stick.
So if you lthen look in Windows Explorer you will find it under My Computer
Hope this helps.
