IDE Floppy Disk + Debian: anything to consider?
(sh.itjust.works)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

From one perspective, it should work; from another I never thought about how SATA/IDE adapters exactly work in this regard. Would any old one work, or most, or (almost) none at all?
Just to add this idea, I've used internal floppy drives with USB connection in the past, to attach in systems that don't have an old style floppy connector.
P.S.: Love the idea! I'm also a great fan of haptic/physical interfaces.
