I used the CD-ROM more than the floppy although carried both with me. Just before I sold it I bought an FDD external attachment kit and wished I'd done it long ago. It made life so much easier as both CD-ROM and floppy were available together when required and floppy could be left off when not required. I now have a 770 - a terrific machine - and the floppy connects externally without the extra kit. -- Greg
