I have a USB floppy drive with a known good disk in it. Not sure if a regular 34-pin floppy would be any different. But blanked it, connected to Win 11, and rebooted. The drive seeked on startup, but otherwise it's still blank:

    dd if=/dev/rsd1c | hexdump -C
    00000000  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
