AJ> Hi I was wondering if anybody knew how to install a 5 1/4 floppy drive?
AJ> Like I know where to plug it in the main system but how would I set it
AJ> up from dos??
it plugs into the flat cable that goes to your other floppy drive, (there
should be 4 connectors on tha cable (2 sets of 2) plug it in the one that 
its
it that's furthest from the one connected to your existing floppy.
Don't worry if you get the connector backwards you won't damage anything,
you'll just have to turn it round to make it work.
There will be a cable with a (translucent white) plug and 4 wires 1 red 2
black 1 yellow comin from the power suply (tin box with fan) that goes in the
socket on the back of the disk drive.
If your computer is new-ish it'll know what to do when you swuitch it on,
otherwise you'll have to run the setup program.
enjoy.
