Good news is that floppies are cheap!
Before you buy one however, open the case and check to see if the power connection is tight and same for the floppy cable. Carl |

You haven't moved or unplugged anything on the inside of your case lately, have you? That problem could also be caused by your floppy cable being reconnected upside-down.

Go to www.newegg.com, most of them are under $10.
