Is there a 5.25" card reader (preferably black)? I don't want to give up my floppy drive for a card reader. My case has support for only one floppy drive.

If one doesn't exist, is there a card reader the size of a floppy drive that INCLUDES a floppy + card reader? Or is that asking too much :rolleyes:

They exist. this one by Mitsumi , and Iomega makes one as well, not sure if they make an internal one, however.

I've never understood how I could fit a pro-duo card in one of those large slots? How does that work? Looks like it would never fit.
:confused:

:confused: What are you talking about, i was initially going to ask why he just couldnt put it in a second 3.5" but then i re-read his posts and noticed oops he mentioned having only one bay that was 3.5".
Anyhow USB is probly your best bet
 
Those Mitsumi drives are great. The floppy connects via the old-school 40-pin connector, and the card reader connects to a USB header on your motherboard. I use them all the time, best idea ever.

Well, my PSP came with this converter to convert the tiny MSPD card to a larger MS format. Works great.
 
Another option is something like this. I got the card reader on sale for $8, and had an old 5.25" bezel from a sled-mounted 3.5" floppy drive. Painting the bezel black would be very easy, dunno how easy those are to find, however.

lol, ghetto.

I'd like to keep my P180 sleek looking :eek:

I may have to try out one of those mitsumi ones.

no, he mentioned one bay being 3.25", a non-existant size.
