 Need Vista compat. Floppy Drive (64-bit) I'm half way through a build, and I'm looking for a floppy drive, but I'll be running Vista 64, and none of the floppys I've seen say what they support and what they don't. Does anyone know of a drive that I can use? Cheers, Ollie.

| Need Vista compat. Floppy Drive (64-bit) Any drive will be ok, same as CD/DVD Drives they are not OS dependant and have generic inbuilt Windows drivers.

| Need Vista compat. Floppy Drive (64-bit) Ok even though it's 64-bit? That was what worried me.. most floppys where probably used on a 16-bit.. or maybe not actually Win95 brought in 32-bit didn't it.. And yes I do.. theres several reasons: 1) Sentimental 2) I don't like empty spaces where I could cram in some more gadgets :P 3) Backwards compatibility 4) BIOS Backup 5) Bootableness 6) DOS Applications
