Subject: [emax] Floppy disk drives in laptops?

I know omniflop and emxp require an internal floppy drive to work properly. I have a winxp computer for this purpose. However, do the floppy disk drives in laptops also work? Ones that are internally installed (obviously not usb). Unclear if those used different protocols or whatever. Sorry I'm fair computer tech illiterate.
