Got a Greaseweasle and now I'm clueless.

Used my hand-held squeezy dust blower to give the PC a clean out. Lots of horridness when I blasted the PSU intake.

All back together, now with an internal "Flux Capacitor"

Floppy Disk Drive is powered using a spare SATA off the power supply via one of these:

Thank you great community! I'm not always the sharpest tool in the box :lol:

Yeah, I'm pretty happy as I got this drive because it can read 720K disks as well as 1.44MB ones (says so in the spec.) but without some sort of fancy controller or an older PC it's no use for disk swapping. I've ordered a Dell laptop floppy drive which is good for disk swapping and I can plug that into an external USB.

I figured by getting this cheaper alternative to the Kryoflux I've now given this drive a purpose. I love how it's all contained inside the unit.

Don't think I could fit a bean inside this machine now. :lol:

I can also create a shortcut to it by right clicking the desktop and choosing shortcut and filling it in as follows:

Oh, and don't try to run GW by double clicking on it, you need to open a command prompt and run it from there.

You might be better off downloading the GUI from my previous link.

I make a point of reading back over threads to make sure I haven't missed anything. Just spotted and successfully installed the GUI, thanks. It looks like it types the commands for me. 8-)

Looks like you've made good progress, excellent.
