Great for Laptops! Got Free with Rebate
by waters_phil ,Jan 09 '04
Pros: Very Portable Free With Rebate Compatible with MAC Useful for laptops
Cons: Can't boot from floppy
I intended to buy this USB drive so my laptop that didn't have a floppy drive could boot from a floppy. I didn't realize that you cannot boot from USB floppy drives because their drivers don't get loaded until later. The drive was 50 dollars from HP with a 50 dollar rebate when bought with a Laptop. It took a while for the rebate to come in, but they were good on their word. I don't use it as often as my wife, but for when we need it, or when neigbors' drives go down it really is a godsend. I would recommend that anybody that still uses floppies have one of these around the house for emergencies. It didn't specifically say online that this was compatible with MAC, but it installed without any difficulty. You just have to make sure to eject the disk with the system before ejecting manually.
