Yeah I have one of those drives floating around, just seeing it makes me want to put it back into one of my computers, it would be cool to play those old games, like dungeons and dragons..:D although I think that one’s on 3.5… still fun for old games! Had a Tandy that had a cd rom installed, needed to put the ide controller on a sound board. that was ghetto.

Better not “leaf” that “stalk” behind – I can’t imagine people still manufacturing them.

yep, i remember that. that was magnetic storage combined with binary in the form of sound. when you see the old sci fi comps with the reel to reel, thats what they used to use.

I’m old enough to have used cassette tapes for my computer — a CoCo II. And yes, they were mostly for adventure games, we didn’t even have a word processor in our computer.

I am 25 years old and I began servicing PC’s when I was 9. I remember using those. I am old to I would say. If anyone wants one of those drives to use on there PC’s I have one sitting in a tower in the corner. If you want it. 5 bux plus delivery. Email me at colep2003@hotmail.com.

Hey…if you still have games on those old timer disks you can pull them off and put them onto a CD. these drives can be worth it.

those old games are fun and I still play old games. I just don’t have any on a hard disk anymore.

But this woman is up crap creek trying to put into her laptop.

Haha, I’m 17 And I remember Using 3.5’s for all my games.

But I -never- used a 5 1/4 for anything (though I have one I scavenged from an old medical computer, It’s useless without the OS.)

And yes, They DID used to put floppy drives in laptops, but only 3.5in ones, 5 1/4 was like 15 years before that.

Ah, 51/4″. Almost before my time. Way back when, I learned Apple Basic on Apple II’s, which used those.

I used 3.5″ers constantly through to high school, transporting info from home to school and vise-versa. But you know, if you fold the floppy JUST RIGHT…you ruin your data
