Why does ASRock sell a UEFI motherboard with hardware for a floppy drive, but refuses to provide support it in the UEFI firmware?
The floppy drive is not recognized when booting with UEFI into Windows 7 x64.
I received the following answer to an inquiry to ASRock Technical Support about:
This is a known issue. Floppy disk drive doesn't support under GPT format (UEFI mode).
So, I submitted an inquiry about this to UEFI.ORG and this is the response I got from them:
Our UEFI technical representatives have noted that the UEFI system can support floppy disks without any issues and have advised that you consult your motherboard manufacturer for further troubleshooting guidance.
To me this indicates ASRock does not want to support their own product and refuses to do so!
