Toshiba Satellite Pro 420cdt without floppy
Greetings:
I just received this laptop for cheep. It has 40mb Ram(max) & 1.2gb hd. The
only problem getting linux on it is that it has no floppy. I tried to boot
using it's cdrom drive, but the prehistoric bios doesn't look for cdrom, only
fdd>hdd or hdd>fdd.
Looking around for a floppy, I found resale sites wanting over $100 for a
silly floppy drive! That is more than I paid for the old laptop. On Ebay, I
found several, and they have a small cord with an odd connector. These are
going for $2 to $10 and I wonder if there is a way to learn which one would
fit this laptop. Toshiba doesn't make it available which fits what.
Any help appreciated. Pls mail direct as I am not subscribed.
Thank you, tatah
