A while ago, Alan Cox started a nice thread about finding an USB way to read old (like 5.25 inch and 3 inch) floppies.
That resulted in a nice comment thread revealing this info:
- USB to real drives (5.25 inch, 3.25 inch, some 3 inch and some 8 inch):
- Emulating drives to old computers:
Now hopefully some people also post some links to USB PCMCIA memory card readers (:

Cool, I just found out that Wikipedia has a Screenshot topic, listing how to take screenshots (and often shots of the current window) on many platforms, where (*) means I verified them:
- Apple Mac OS X
(*) Use “⌘ Cmd+⇧ Shift+3” for the screen or “⌘ Cmd+⇧ Shift+4” for a part of the screen (as of Mac OS X Tiger, you can press the “Spacebar” to capture a Window in stead of part of the screen). You can press “Ctrl” with these shortcuts to the shot goes to the clipboard, otherwise it gets saved as a PNG file.
- Microsoft Windows
(*) Use “Prt Sc” for the screen or “Alt+Prt Sc” for the Window
(note that on my laptop and multi-media keyboards, you need to type the “Fn” key in order to press the “Prt Sc”)
- Microsoft Windows Phone
Press the “Sleep/Wake” button and the Startbutton at the same time.
- Apple iOS
(*) Press the “Home” and “Lock” button at the same time.
- Google Android
Hold the “Volume down” button, then press the “Sleep/Wake” button.
(*) Or press the “Sleep/Wake” and the “Home” button at the same time.
- HP WebOS
Press the “Orange/Gray Key+Sym+P” at the same time.
Or press “Home Key+Power” at the same time.
- X Window System
Varies with the installed tooling
- Maemo 5
Press “Ctrl+⇧ Shift+P” at the same time.
- Google Chrome OS
Press “Ctrl+F5” to capture the screen or press “Ctrl+⇧ Shift+F5” to capture a portion of the screen.
