    Default I know it's CRAZY but I need a FDD!

    I want to install a floppy disk drive into my rig. The only problem?
    I have a newer motherboard.
    More specifically the Asus M5A78L-M LX PLUS
    Don't ask why I want one... the point is that I do.

    Or would something like this work?
    Code:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ideal-3-5-inch-Floppy-Multifunction-Panel-USB-2-0-3-0-Internal-Card-Reader-Panel-/380458230037?pt=US_Memory_Card_Readers_Adapters&hash=item589513e115
    Or this if my mobo can't utilize USB 3.0
    Code:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-5-Internal-Floppy-Drive-All-in-One-Card-Reader-Writer-w-USB-2-0-Port-NEW-/400306400426?pt=US_Floppy_Zip_Jaz_Drives&hash=item5d341eecaa
    If I'm not mistaken all I need is a USB port on my mobo, right?
    And since I don't have an IDE port I plan on using one of these guys to allow me to plug it into a SATA port.
    Code:

    And of course power.

    Default

    The first link does not have a floppy station. its just meant for the 3.5" external slot ("floppy slot").

    The second one will work just fine.

    Dont know what you are planning to do with the IDE-SATA adapter tho.

    Default

    I don't have an IDE port on my mobo.
    I was going to use the IDE-SATA adapter to plug it into a SATA port.
