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?
Or this if my mobo can't utilize USB 3.0Code: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
If I'm not mistaken all I need is a USB port on my mobo, right?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
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.
And of course power.Code:http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SATA-to-IDE-Adapter-converts-ATA100-133-CD-ROM-DVD-for-S-ATA-PC-Motherboard-/190720687574?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c67d6bdd6

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.NZXT Apollo, Q6600 @3.0GHz, GTX560 Ti 1GB, 4GB, 128GB Kingston V100 & 1160GB total magnetic storage

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.
