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.

The floppy drive is seen automatically and still fully supported in Debian 12 x86_64. You might have to mount the diskette to actually read it, but you can do that in fstab to do it on boot or ondemand or mount it manually.
What interface are you using? USB or FDD?
FDD
