Floppy?

[Ticien]

Dont feel bad intergalacticman, Ive got a tape drive too. It's hooked up along with a 5.25" disk drive to my Atari 400...

I got a floppy drive, the only thing my family has ever used it for is
1. My dad copying spreadsheets from work 2 home
2. I have a floppy w/ sum pics of me on it and i had to back it up recently

IMO, floppies can be usefull, but only every once in a while!

I agree with most of the folks who answered this thread. Keep at least one drive, with the ribbon cable, to do things like update the BIOS. The Western Digital 160 GB drive I bought came with two floppy disks for the formatting tools. It should have came with a CD.

Dude, please don't do that. LOL isn't a word, and by adding a z to the acronym, it makes you look like you're actually trying to pronounce it.

As we say in Scotland:

"Gonna no dae that?"

OH, and I would say if you have the room for a floppy drive, build it into the mod. If you realize you don't want/need it, you have a perfect spot for another HDD.

OH, and its all about the ZIP drive 100, 250, or 750 mb baby!
