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.

I’ve tried using a floppy on arch recently using a usb and a usb adapter with an original drive.
It works rather well, but it’s seen as a root drive. So long as you can give yourself root access it’s all good.
On that note you should get one of those internal usb 2 to female usb headers as it can allow you access if there isn’t a free usb port available
