What can I put in place of a floppy drive?
I recently bought a desktop computer from someone on Craigslist, to see what I can do with it in terms of updating/customizing. It has a floppy drive installed in it. I know that I'll never use it, so I want to put something else in place if it. Is there anything useful that's the size of a 4" floppy drive that I can put in my desktop, or should I just leave it?
oops, I meant 3.5. Sorry.
a floppy drive should b 3.5 inches not 4. you can buy a card reader for all types of memory cards. that hooks up to a USB header on your motherboard so make sure that you have an extra one.
