Ok, Iomega floppy drives have been discontinued, so here is what I did:

-I purchased Diablotech USB Floppy Drives for $15.99.
-Open up the black plastic case surrounding the metal floppy drive by taking the one screw out of the bottom of the case and sliding the top half section forward to separate the two halves.
-Remove the ribbon cable from the drive, keeping the small conversion board and cable assembly intact all as one unit.
-Now just plug the ribbon cable/conversion board/cable assembly into the existing floppy drive of the Ultra ULT40366, secure the assembly with a zip-tie, and once again, "Viola!!", you have an internal floppy drive and card reader that consists of an external usb floppy drive and a usb card reader.
-Once again, use a one port usb port taken from a case bracket, hook it up to the motherboard, plug in the floppy drive cable, and just leave it inside the case.

Works like a champ!!
