If you wanted to take a floppy drive out of an older computer and put it in an empty bay of a G4, what kind would you want to use?
Thanx,
Willie

Don't even try, there are no connections on the motherboard for a floppy drive.

IDE SuperDisk drives would work if there were appropriate drivers, but I have yet to see one for Mac.

Floppy drive? You don't need no floppy drive. I guess if you really want one, buy a SuperDisk drive or something. That's the only way of reading an old floppy on a G4.
