| 251818 | 2004-07-12 11:09:00 | Hi F1 ers, Does anyone here know who wrecks toshiba laptops please? I need a new FDD. The floppy drive on my 2250 CDT laptop sucked a big one. I had to get a pair of long nose pliers to get floppy out and a little spring was stuck in the back of it. How bizarre there is a machined notch in the floppy very amazing. Thanks tedheath |

| 251820 | 2004-07-13 03:34:00 | tedheath wrecks toshiba laptops. :D Or their floppy drives, anyway. I know the feeling, Ted. :_| The thin metal cover on the floppy can get bent easily, and it will jam the disk inside a drive. I have had it happen enough times that I have developed a technique for removing the jammed disk. But if I notice before the floppy goes in, I just take the cover off. Disks are cheap. |

| 251822 | 2004-07-14 00:21:00 | This an external toshiba floppy drive ? | the highlander (245) | ||
| 251823 | 2004-07-14 02:41:00 | If you have to have a floppydrive, a USB external one might be cheaper than the real spare part. An extra thing to carry can be a nuisance ...but. ;-) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 251824 | 2004-07-14 05:58:00 | Nope its internal use it all the time. tedheath |

| 251825 | 2004-07-14 08:02:00 | I bought a USB floppy drive with my toshiba lappy a month or so back, cost about $90+. Does the trick, seems to be a whole heap slower than an internal drive though, does this sound right? Anyone? mike |

| 251826 | 2004-07-14 09:35:00 | I think an external fdd would be a pain as this laptop is pretty mobile gets dragged from truck to home several times a day. I am using a usb memory card but i cant get my memory card to work on my w98se home pc. Pain in the bum I have to email the files from my laptop to pc and they are only a few meters away. tedheath |

| 251827 | 2004-07-14 10:07:00 | why not put a network card in your win98 pc? laptop will probably have one already. that will make swapping files a piece of cake | miknz (3731) | ||
