Sigh. I have to say: "Typically, yes". I did use a Bernoulli and IOMega 
"flopticals" that acted like AT-style hard drives. I may still have a 
few floating about in the barn. (But doubt if I have a working computer 
that they'll connect to.)

Also, recent DVD-RAM drives look like hard drives. The older ones 
usually needed different drivers because of their speed.
