Linux and external USB floppy disk drives

Yes, it's true -- I still have lots of floppy disks. But then, I'm also very old - like 77 y.o.! ;) I also have an IBM ThinkPad USB floppy disk drive, BUT when I attach it to a laptop using a Linux distro, Linux doesn't even 'see' the floppy!

Are there some tricks that I have to use to get Xenial75 or Mint to access my USB floppy drive?

I'd appreciate some enlightenment on this matter. Thanks!latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=nD-m4STNL1s:HfVffXx_W4A:F7zBnMy latest?i=nD-m4STNL1s:HfVffXx_W4A:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=nD-m4STNL1s:HfVffXx_W4A:gIN9vFwnD-m4STNL1s
