Heh, I heard about this really cool technology that is going to kill both the floppy and zip as we know it... it's called the LS120. It's gonna rock!

I built my PC without a floppy--wanted to wean myself off of it. You just had to share this hot deal with us, didn't you? :|I ordered one.

That's funny Peril...same here!!! but I bought one too. Used a 1x CC# good for $8 even to prevent any surprize shipping charge!

That's weird... the beige drives don't have free shipping. I don't want to pay $15 for a floppy drive if I only use it once or twice. Anyone know where you can get a beige floppy for less than $10 shipped.

It's Discrimination I tell you!

Hey, get the technology right...these were 5 1/4, not 5 1/2. And hey, they were much better than the 8" ones!

 

[Tung]

do they have any white one?

 

[Wolverine88]

I am in for 2 (for my 2 Antec black cases). They have ALPS for $7.00. Still want go for Mitsmi one.

Just curious....

When you guys reformat your drive and do a clean install of WinXp.... how do you NOT use a floppy? I find I usually have to use a floppy to boot to, for "format" "fdisk" etc..

I know you can make a WINXP disk bootable.... but how are you "formatting", and using "fdisk", if not from a floppy?

If you boot of the XP CD, then you will have an opportunity to format and partition your drive during the install.

Umm, I see a resellerratings.com ranking of 2.08 -- that's pretty bad. I'll pass, but good luck to y'all.

I went with the black faced AOpen 1648 16x model at Newegg. It comes with both a white and black faceplate, works on an ATA/66 interface, plus it is region free.

You need new corrective lenses?
Buy XtremeGear has a rating of more than 7 on ResellerRatings.com

I wonder if the addition of a floppy drive to my PC will boost its resale value . . .

 

[tallest1]

I don't know how you find this deal but thank you very much.
