Question:
Writer in Dire Need of External Floppy for OLD DELL
Hi
I just inherited a dell LM p133st with a CD rom but without a floppy drive and it does me no good since I need to save my work from time to time in a decent and orderly fashion.
Tried going on ebay - but honestly do not know what techinical specs I need to be looking for. Obviously not all external 1.44's will work with this machine - or would they.
Can someone point me in the direction of exactly what I need to be looking for in as far as an external floppy drive for this machine goes? Is there someplace where they can be purchased directly - new or refurbished?
Thing is, I'm overseas right now and would need someone to ship it to Israel.
Well, that's about it.
Wishing you all a good day and a safe one as well,
AL

If it had a USB port why would you use anything but a USB flash drive. Floppy media is very unreliable.
