info.
I'm not quite sure about this but I don't think these machines support floppy drives, I've checked out several versions of this device throughout the web and none supported floppy drives.
The only thing I can think of is a card that has it's own bio's like the older adaptec isa scsi cards (I think it was 1540 or or 1544 or something like that...) that supported both floppy and scsi....
Maybe I'm wrong...someone else have input???

I believe you can hook up a floppy to some ISA controllers but I may be wrong.

You could get one of those "SuperDisks", I think they're called. The number that comes to mind is LS-120. They are an IDE drive that is bootable, and reads both regular floppies and their special ones, which I think hold 120MB. You can't boot offthe parallel version.

Wait for a BIOS that supports it. Someone may find one soon. You could flash it from DOS on a hard drive you set up from a win machine.
