| You cant see the floppy drive? Like physically. or when you put a floppy in it doesn't read it?
Also I dont think the color of your computer or the material its made of it going to affect weather you floppy drive will work

But it still contains the controller inside. You could take a floppy drive out from an old computer (it probably won't miss it) and connect it up, and when DOS is finished, disconnect it.* | |

| floppies suck. Go buy a USB thumb drive, they are much better than floppies, AND.... they hold a hell of alot more data. for example, my 128 mb one holds like 100x more data than floppies, and it was only $35.
And, you can always ADD a floppy drive to a computer, its not hard at all. The floppy is dead folks!! | |
