I have a Compaq Armada M700 and I am able to access the Floppy drive through the Printer Port LPT. Can I do this with a different PC
Hi hows it going.
I have been trying to figure out a way to access the floppy drive (A drive) with this little thing I got from Compaq when I bought a compaq armada m700 basically all I do is plug the Floppy drive into the LPT port on my laptop when I want to access a floppy disk. I tried doing this with an ordinary computer system (not the laptop) and it doesnt work. I dont understand why it doesnt so I am wondering if you guys might have some insight into what to do. I have had trouble installing an ordinary floppy drive into the system using the cabling ie using the floppy drive that would normally come with a pc but it isnt working so I thought hey lets give it a try and no it doest work. There must be a way if it can be done with a laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated Many thanks David! |

the floppy drive is more than likely controlled by software that you
do not have on the other machines, but is installed on your laptop. what O/S are you running? |
