Can I trick a USB stick into an f6 disk?

Todd

Hi All,

As floppy drives are getting more scarce, is there a
way I can trick XP Pro's installer into thinking a
USB memory stick is an A: drive for use as an f6
extra drivers disk?

Many thanks,

I've not seen any way, but fortunately an external USB floppy works.
Another option is to slipstream the drivers into the install CD.

I'd better get me a ext floppy before they get discontinued too.
