Today I setuped my pegII/G4 (after some searching on installing and autobooting, it is actually easy if u rtfm) and I was wondering about the floppy... I use a nice black mATX case, that also has a floppy... is ti used in mos??? I put a diskette in and nothing happened... perhaps it makes more sense to put there a 3.5" MMC/CF/xyz reader?

keropi,
I'm afraid that it will not work, as far as I know only on linux you are able to use the FDD.

An USB floppy drive should work (but did anybody use a floppy during the past five years?).

so the bottom line as I suspected would be to use a nice 3.5 multimedia reader , thanks for the clarification!

There is a floppydriver for morphos.
It works on reading off FAT formatted floppy's.
So you can transfer data with a floppy(like from an amiga500 using crossdos on amigaside).
It also writes I believe with newset version.
I am thinking off putting in a floppydrive mediareader combination.
Doesn't make much off a difference in price.

"Does a floppy drive make sense in a pegII ?"

No.

Go for an USB "thumbdrive" instead. The USB memory sticks has become incredibly cheap lately, they will store a helluvalot more than a floppy and even at USB 1.1 speeds they are very much preferable over old floppy disks. Faster, safer, smoother, bigger, better, cheaper. No reason to use floppy whatsoever.

Yes it does !
To read and write floppy for Atari ST/TT/Falcon
And also Amiga for sure (with the help of msd...).

Last week at work, we got a small and wel designed keyboard and the driver was on a .... floppy !!!

Well that sure sounds like a very common everyday thing for most people...

You know, chances are pretty good that this driver won't work on the Pegasos anyway, with or without floppy...

(and a general tip - do not use the drivers that come bundled with HW on floppies/CD's, always download the very latest and greatest driver from the Internet instead )
