USB Floppy Drive Question

Does a USB floppy drive assume drive letter A: and act just like a regular floppy drive or is it more like an external hard drive? I'm asking because I recently decided to leave the floppy drive out of my case and of course I'm regretting it already as there is a new BIOS posted on the evga site for my 8800GTS but I need a floppy drive to use it. If a USB drive would work just the same, I'll just buy one of those.
 
Sometimes you can use a USB floppy drive - it depends on your BIOS. If you can set your BIOS to support USB floppy during boot, then it will work. Check my sig for a nice combo floppy drive/flash card reader - get more use from your 3.5" drive bay.

I don't want an internal floppy drive. I'm using a very cramped Antec Nine Hundred case. I left out the internal floppy drive because it's just so cramped inside.
 
On my notebooks and desktop the USB Floppy is assigned "A " drive just like an internal... Works fine for me. Home built Biostar Tforce6100 754 board, and Dell Inspiron 5100 and 1501 notebooks.
