Default Floppy Disk Drive with 7-in-1 Card Reader




Floppy Disk Drive with 7–in-1 Card Reader. Weird combination of old and new. A 3.5 inch plug-in floppy disk drive unit complete with a memory card reader installed. So..ah..you can transfer all your ancient floppy borne banking details to your digital camera SD card in a snap. Or something. Um…didn’t they make floppy disks illegal a few years back? Out of sheer embarrassment? £19.99.

• Read and Write major flash memory cards and floppy discs from one 3.5 inch bay! • Smart Media, Compact Flash, Memory Stick, Secure Digital, MultiMedia Card, MicroDrive and floppy disc compatible • High speed USB 2.0 interface which is USB 1.0/1.1 compatible • Windows 98 SE/Me/2000/XP compatible

wen i chucked away my floppy drive 3 yrs back, i had to tape the opening it left behind, to prevent people from trying to put their floppies into my non-existent drive

was the most hilarious first month when it was open with no drive inside

I saw a multiple card reader (24 in one I guess) an year back, which was the size of a floppy drive. Since nobody uses floppy these days, that can be better replacement for it. And it was available at the price of floppy drive.
