How can I add a 1.44 Mb floppy drive?
Posted by poPy on June 2nd, 2006


I need to know how can I add a 1.44 Mb floppy drive to a Gateway
GX7022E PC.

I appreciate any clues.

If the mainboard has a floppy connector, then get a floppy drive
and a floppy cable. Plug them in.

If the mainboard does not have a floppy connector, then getting
an USB floppy is likely the only option.

And now the obvious next question:
Can you boot from a USB floppy drive?

Yes, if the bios supports that.

Well, yes. If you want to do that, better arrange to test it
before you buy...
