It seems at least the early versions need a fdc. Afaik my bare board is the first
iteration. It also controls via usb (-c). I'm still figuring stuff out. Like
"take 1 blue pill prior to initializing device". Or somethink like that.

Newer PCs often have unnecessary complications. Many
no longer even support
floppies!
Since when does the Weazle need a floppy controller? It's an autonomous
device. And you *do* need a modern PC since it is attached via USB.
