  • External 1.44MB floppy as drive B: on IBM P70

    An HDI-30 to IDE adapter (home made) works to get an external 1.44 mb
    floppy drive to show up as drive B on IBM P70.

    This is a great solution for people like me who want to be able to use
    their gotek with the IBM P70, but don't want to remove the internal drive.

    I posted a small write up about it on my site.

    Now *that's* a very simple, clean and nicely packaged solution.

    Kudos to James Michael Stephens!
