The Sony Z505S comes with a USB floppy drive.

USB floppy drives will never work with the fdc driver.

There has been some work towards supporting the USB floppy drives but

(the libretto floppy drives, which are kinda weird, are supported
 and I assume the USB floppies will be eventually, but not right now).
