Modular Floppy drive

[Steve S]

Hi everyone, I just bought a Dell laptop and added a 'modular floppy drive.'  I assumed it would be installed in the laptop when I got it but instead it came seperate.  I cannot for the life of me figure out how to install/connect it (it does not have a USB connection; it has some wider connection) and I dont have the users guide on my laptop for some reason.  Any help is appreciated.

I'm not into laptops at all but the other day a friend showed me some card he bought & it plugged into a long skinny slot on the side of the laptop.
Have a good look around the laptop sides.

You may need to download it in digital format. Books are becoming a thing of the past, it seems.

(it does not have a USB connection; it has some wider connection)

The Floppy Disk Drive may be interchangeable with the CD-ROM player.

Did you get a plastic casing with the CD-ROM player or FDD? that features the same connector as the one on the laptop?

Thanks raptor!!

It IS interchangeable with the CD/DVD drive.  Funny, I had never hear of such a device before.

Funny, I had never hear of such a device before.

So far, I have only seen one and it came with an aging Toshiba laptop.
