If you plan on leaving floppy disk in these units , I highly
recommend getting a floppy drive locking mechanism . I am not
sure if one exists to lock a floppy disk into the drive , But
I'll bet someone has made one someplace .
Or mount the floppy drive internal to the case and secure the case .
If you don't secure the media & drive in someway people -will-
start playing with the boot drive .
Always remember the addage,
'Joe Average User' can destroy an anvil with a rubber mallet.
