Ok, I clicked on it on my lastop and I got that same view. There is no
floppy drive on that laptop though. I do have an external USB floppy
drive, I wonder if that will work? (First I got to find that thing).

Actually the only computer that has a floppy drive is my Windows 98
machine. I hope this EXE will run on Win98.

I could also plug a floppy drive into my XP desktop. It has the
connector for a floppy on the motherboard. Come to think of it, that
tower has space to install a floppy drive. I should just put one in
there permanently.

I can see one problem though. That tower dont have the mini-molex plug
that the floppy drive needs. Looks like another trip to ebay is needed.
(What is the correct name for that plug adaptor?)


How is that possible ?

You'd need a pretty new power supply, to not have the floppy connector.
Or maybe a very old one.

"Molex 4-pin LP4 & Floppy Drive 4-pin SP4 Female Adapter Converter Y Cable"

The closest I could find to a classical one, is a Molex that goes
to two SP4 connectors.

Normally, you'd buy a Molex that goes to another Molex plus a Floppy SP4.
And I'm not seeing any of those for sale.

This site has pictures of power connectors if you need them.
Might take a while to load on your dialup connection.

I would check to make sure one of the wire looms isn't all wound
up in an elastic and hiding the floppy power connection.
