USB floppy compatible with OS/2 ?

Hi,
I would like to know whether there is anyone out there that has installed OS/2 on an IBM laptop using an external USB floppy drive (there is no built-in floppy drive for my laptop).
If the answer is yes, do I need to load special USB driver in my config.sys ?

That is an ugly situation. OS/2 does have floppy USB support, but what drivers? I don't know. That and trying to copy them to the three boot floppies that have limited space would pose another problem.
