Re: External 3.5 floppy

isn't there more to it than that? Mainly turning on and off the power and
control lines? I can hook up a hard drive (IDE) while the computer is
running, but I wouldn't guarantee it or anything else in the machine would
work after that, as well as the BIOS wouldn't see it if it is plugged in
after bootup. One should boot with the floppy attached, then put to sleep
to remove/attach.

Are there any drivers for the PacRim floppy? Linux that is? or LS120
external?
