USB Floppy Question
 
Where I work, we just got some USB floppy drives for a bunch
of our laptops that for some reason didn't come with one OEM.
These things work GREAT!

But I was wondering if anyone has some experience with these
and our newer, more modern system boards.

The reason I ask....I generally don't install floppy's in any of my
desktop machines. I just do most everything offa CD. But on
the odd occasion that I need to Diag a machine, I'd like to
quickly connect a floppy and boot to one of my "Magic Boot Disks".
Does anyone know if our newer system boards support booting
off of a USB floppy drive?

I don't dare ask to borrow one of the drives from work, as I've
only been there three weeks at this site, so...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've used a usb floppy drive on my laptop to boot from, it is a P3 650.

And you can boot your typical desktop with it?
