Floppy Disquette issue (yeah, i know...)

I'm trying to revive the "good old days" checking the content of some floppy disks but i just can't mount the device. Trisquel reports "Unable to mount location. No media in the device.". Ain't floppy disks supported? No drivers? I thought that, instead of throwing those floppy’s in the can i could recycle them to save some scripts i may develop. :) Very "retro".
