There used to be floppy drives you could connect to the parallel port.. Try looking for one of these, I'm sure they'll work just fine even today. :)
There are also quite recent thingies that let you connect a 3.5" drive via USB, could be an alternative too (having a 5.25" internally and a 3.5" via USB) Cheers, Peo -----Original Message----- From: Edward Franks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: den 20 januari 2004 19:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SWCollect] 5.25s vs. 3.5s On Jan 20, 2004, at 12:26 PM, Feldhamer, Stuart wrote: [Snip] > I got no response.

For them 3.5 inch disks are more valuable simply because they don't have that type of drive. You might want to describe the media in the future. I've gotten questions on eBay auctions about the Ultima Collection even though the image of the game clearly shows "CD-ROM Classics". ;-) It is going to get even worse. My current motherboard doesn't even support a B: drive! As I need the 3.5 inch drive as my A: drive this means I'll need to keep an older PC around just to deal with 5.25 floppies. But how many people have room or even want an older PC around just for a few odd games? -- Edward Franks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
