I have replaced the floppy disc port on an ABB 6400R with a usb emulator unit but when you try to save a program a message comes up saying the contents of the disk has been changed since last read and prompts to reread or cancel. Has anyone seen this message before and knows how to correct it. When I select reread the dialog box disappears but nothing happens and it reappears when you try to save again.
Disk changed reread

There are several different USB floppy replacements units along with different versions of (sometimes sketchy) PC software.
Not sure where to start unless you have another setup that works where you can swap places with a working unit.
Perhaps posting pictures of the front and back of the unit you're using will make it more relevant to someone.
When you plug the formatted USB into a computer, does it report it as "FLPPY0" approx 1.38MB in size? -
It seemed to be a problem with installing software onto the usb. But I contacted the company we bought it from and managed to get it sorted.
