will the new floppy drive read ancient Mac floppies which back in the day used an unusual variable-speed-of-rotation encoding?
no
OK what about those 2.88 Meg high-density floppies that were briefly all the rage
no
OK but you still own an entire box of rare, unused 2” floppies from 1985?
yes

wait, what? 2” floppies? Not 3-1/2”? 2”? yes I was persuaded in 1988 by a really good deal on a Zenith laptop that used these revolutionary 2” floppies. Obviously the future. Official floppy disk of the 1990 World Cup! (I didn’t notice what the official floppy of this year’s world cup is.)
