FORC5,
Understand. I've still got one small box of old floppies. As soon as I
can upgrade all my old SCSI stuff to SATA, I sorta need to keep these
things.
Close I am. Seems that my OLD (scsi) machines new seem to be getting
ready to croak. Not bad. I knew this day would come. Just getting
prepared! And, I have been lazy and cash-poor to upgrade faster (sooner).
I will mention how much I love my 3 new C2D machines. I have now
experienced the future and it is fast and bright.

Anthony,
Yes, I saw this model and another model from Nippon Labs. Problem is
that both of these still require the eide FD cable. Not completely usb.
I am considering the Iomega Silver model, N82E16821108201, $34.99.
I'd like NOT to try Sabrent or Rosewill again!

Anthony,
Yes, I do. I'd like to believe that there is really nothing I might
ever need again, but, just do not know yet. I am still working to be
"Floppy-Free."
USB floppy drive????? Do tell............ :)
Think that is what I now seek!!!
LOL!

You actually still have files saved on Floppies? None of my machines
have floppies.
Why not a USB floppy drive?

I assume that old 3.5in 1.44MB floppy drives use the old eide

And, I am now noticing new m/b's that do not have a floppy connector.
OK. I understand.
Is there any kind of external conversion box (eide-usb) I can use to
keep a NEW "working" Sony/TEAC 3.5in floppy drive around for some
time.
Yes, I do so know that I should have converted all my old floppies to
usb sticks years ago. Fine. I'm late with this, also! Sue me!
It seems that I am finding out what the life of Sony/TEAC floppy
drives useful life may be. All mine are 12-15 (or more!) yrs old!
Wondering?
