AWESOME!  I never noticed that!  Now I can make those ESR disks for Windows
Server ;)  Dell's so clever sometimes.

Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Borrow USB Floppy Drive?

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.
