Uh.......nooo. This machine I'm on doesn't have a floppy. But I have 1 now. T1200 says  to me:  Starting MS-DOS...              Bad or missing Command Interpreter    Enter correct name, blah, blah. Doesn't matter what I type in, get the same message. Could be ammo for a new post.

According to this, it has at least one floppy drive.

USB does not work on such an old computer.

erm... USB on a laptop from 1987?

Probably to plug into the newer computer (which don't have floppies anymore) to write to the floppies with then use them in the laptop...

I used one about 3 weeks ago to flash the bios in a computer.

I still use floppy's on a regular basis, although Ive got flash drives and CD/DVD burners, I mainly use the floppy's for my old  Sony camera. Its big and cumbersome but Ive made a lot of treasured memories from using it, and its always a talking point when I bring it out at family get togethers.((Mainly from family saying how jurasic I am) WHEN WILL THEY GET THE HINT TO BUY ME A NEW DIGITAL CAMERA??? Ho Hum.)

I have not used a floppy disk for several months. I do carry a USB 2 floppy drive in my laptop case just in case.

Look, I uh.. just wanted to know what XP 64-bit would be like, okay?! Stop judging me! I threw it out the very next day, I swear! I don't even remember how to hook up a floppy drive.. *uncomfortable laugher* is that what they're called? I.. didn't even know. It's not MY fault! My cat put me up to it.. "Meee-install-a-floppy-drive-into-your-computer-ow." I am innocent !!

I'll give you a hint - look at my specs.

Like right now because the computer does not see the CD drive so I am kind of stuck to boot it up as I am stuck in DOS.

[goodiestan2002]

I never use floppy for more than 4 years.

By the way, i never expect USB flash drive to substitude floppy instead of ZIP drive or LS-120;

Sometimes, future is unpredictable

ironic question, I just finished putting all the floppies on a CD friday.

Is that the Alanis Morisette definition of ironic, or just what other people would call coincidence??
