_Ray Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Would these two things work properly together and fit in a 5.25" Drive Bay? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...0Media%20Reader http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811993006 And if they're not, can someone please direct me to an External Multi-Media Reader, or a compatible 3.5" to 5.25" Drive Bay Adapter?

WRX22B1998 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 this would work i dont see why the other thing you posted wouldnt, but, this way saves having to install another part... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ray Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) this would worki dont see why the other thing you posted wouldnt, but, this way saves having to install another part... I'm more concerned with the Floppy part.... I already have an SD USB Adapter, but I need an internal floppy drive (And preferrabl able to read multiple media cards) that will fit in a 5.25" Drive Bay Also, I thought it may not work because the Brackets are for IDE Drives, and I don't know what that floppy drive was.....

Spaz The Great Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Why is it so important to have a floppy drive? I have not seen someone use a floppy in over 4-5 years. Memory sticks and flash drives are too cheap and small to necessitate the use of floppys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS, I asked for an Internal Floppy and Multi Media Card Reader that will fit in a 5.25" drive bay. And I normally don't have the 3,00 dollars is costs to buy a blank CD from them.

Way cheaper. Also, why don't you just see if you can use a USB drive? You can get a 2GB drive for no more than 20 dollars these days, and it's perfect for school projects/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the floppy s not the main part. I need a multi media reader and floppy reader. Now back to the question. Would the 5.25" IDE Drive Bay Adaptors work with that floppy drive, that I highly doubt is IDE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 What about buying your own cds, would they let you do that? I'm really just trying to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ray Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) What about buying your own cds, would they let you do that? I'm really just trying to help you out. I know you are, and yes I own my own CDs, over 200 at the moment, but my fucking asshole school was too cheap to buy a CD Burning Program. But really, even if there is a way to do CDs, etc., at my school, it'd still be nice to have a floppy. Because the media reader/ floppy I need is only $30, and other people such as my cousins, who don't have email, CD drive can't play burned CDs for some shithole reason, but they have floppy. Yeah, believe me, Travel media and CD are way fucking better, but in the end, it would still be nice to have floppy. And like I said, the main reason I want that drive is for the media card/ memory stick etc. reading capabilities.
