I’m more in the BeOS camp myself. Not a fan of Haiku deviating from the project’s original inspiration and mission.
It’s one of the reasons that I am slowly moving away from Zeta OS. l…need a more up-to-date browser. Otherwise, Zeta works for much of my needs. I still use floppy drives and CD/DVD drives.
I have not tested Haiku with USB floppy drive yet.
I have tested Haiku with a USB floppy drive. When attempting to mount a floppy disk the mount server will freeze which causes both Deskbar’s Mount menu and Tracker to lock up. So there is some code that attempts to mount the USB floppy, but it is unable to complete the process.

I relatively recently helped (that is, helped test) waddlesplash fix USB floppy drives causing a KDL, so AFAIK the current status of the driver is doesn’t work, but doesn’t crash the system.
