Hey guys and girls, if you haven't heard of this, you will be pleasantly surprised!!!
Some guy in Poland makes a device that will take an SD card (a type of solid state memory card), and allow a PC to access it as if it were a 5.25 inch floppy!!!!!
He makes these things himself, so if you buy one, you have to wait for him to make it.
Here is the link:
SD to 5.25 floppy converter
Here is a version without the case (so you could mount it inside the PC I guess...personally I think the version with the case is better):
Version without the case
He has some of them that he already built up on eBay, if you click buy it now the price is the same as from his web site.
Uncased version on ebay
Cased version on ebay
The other thing you should know is that a power supply is not included; if you get the cased version, you need to get your own AC to DC converter that will take AC power from the wall and give you a 5 VDC molex connector.
Like this for example:
120 VAC to 5 VDC adapter on amazon
So, I thought you guys would like it
