It looks like the USB rack fits the Floppy bay, but has no floppy controller. No place to ask a question.

Can Vista be replaced by Windows 7? My Vista is 32 bit and my & 7 Home Premium is 64 bit. The computer is an HP laptop Pavillion Dv 6500.

This is to let you know I am still here. I saw the catweasle and don't think it's the answer. I still haven't found the right card, but I am using a USB drive. It works but is SLOW.

The half height internal floppy drive never did work. I still don't know why.

My good camera is a Sony Mavica FD-74 that uses floppys for memory storage. As long as it works, I need a floppy drive. It looks like it's going to be an external USB drive no matter what I want. I HATE planned obsolescence.

I already have an external floppy drive. It's noisy and even slower than the internal. Does thew Iomega dual drive use a floppy interface?

Hello I want to install a floppy disc on a new computer I am building that doesn't support floppys. ASUS says to install a PCI or PCI E card with a floppy controller on it. I can't find one or anyone that has even heard of one. The closest I can come is an ISA card with an ISA/PCI adapter card...
