  DON'T DO THAT!!!!! You could damage your system board! (the TP has
  to
  switch between an IDE CD-ROM channel and floppy disk connector but
  cannot
  do that instantly, also dynamic driver loading for anything other
  than
  PCMCIA cards is not supported under Win95: it also has to
  dynamically
  change drive A:\ to D:\ ) Is there an external floppy connection kit
  for
  this machine?....
