its not just any normal PC USB front panel device, its designed as a replacement for floppy drives as it uses a 34 way connector. Its mainly intended for industrial equipment that still use floppy drives.
now we know that Atari floppy disk is a little quirky but similar to PC 720k and 1.44 formats, but I have used Epson SMD-300 floppy drives from certain HP 286-486 PCs and changed the jumpers around and fixed the Atari floppy front panel (no case sawing) and they work totally perfect.
