Those are considered obsolete because they require a parallel port.
Nowadays people use the ZoomFloppy, which is a USB device:

http://store.go4retro.com/zoomfloppy/

However, the software used with the ZoomFloppy (opencbm) also works with
the older devices.

Here are instructions for building it on Linux:

http://www.lyonlabs.org/commodore/building-opencbm-on-linux.html

There is also a newer version:

http://spiro.trikaliotis.net/Download/opencbm-0.4.99.98/opencbm-0.4.99.98-source.tar.bz2

For further information, see "ZoomFloppy Users" on groups.google.com.
