They had a       internal tape drive 3 1/2"       but most of them had a ribbon cable that went to a external PS/2 slot       connector ( like 50 pin ) to an external 5 1/4" metal floppy drive case       I have at least one CMS 5 1/4" external floppy drive around here some       place (about the same size as an external 5 1/4" Back Pack external drive       metal case..)        I would guess that you would need special drivers to make them work...              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
