After a lot of trying and many different OS i finally manage to get it working using Linux, this has been tested on Debian 12 but will likely work on other distros.


Check what path the USB Floppy have
ls -la /dev/disk/by-id/

Load the sg kernel module
modprobe sg

Check the status of the Floppy
ufiformat -i /dev/sdX where sdX is what you found out using the first command

It will show a output similar to this:
vendor: TEAC
product: USB UF000x
write protect: off
media type: 2HD
status block size kb
formatted 2880 512 1440
formattable 2400 512 1200
formattable 1232 1024 1232
formattable 2880 512 1440

Check so that the floppy is of type 2HD

Format the floppy
ufiformat -f 1440 /dev/sdX

Make a filesystem on the Floppy
mkdosfs -I /dev/sdc

Is should now be mountable in your file manager and you should be able to copy the files over and eject the floppy.
