Lee, We have one that you could of course use. As an FYI to everybody who might not know: The floppy drive module for the Dell Latitude D-series laptops can be used as an externally connected USB floppy drive. This is what I actually use on systems that need floppy access temporarily. There is a mini-usb port on the left side near the back. Figured I'd mention it, due to how many people on campus use Dell. -- Stephen Bogdanski Network Support College of Veterinary Medicine Michigan State University >>> On 10/16/2007 at 12:42 PM, <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Does anybody out there have a USB floppy drive I can borrow? > > > I have specialized software that has installation keys on a floppy, the > software can't be installed without it.
