Floppy Drive for Leo DESIGNote 5500 Notebook

[owensdj]

Where could I find a replacement floppy drive for a Leo DESIGNote 5500 Notebook? It's built into the notebook.

Also, where could I find an external CD-ROM drive for the DESIGNote 5500? Thanks.

I think your best bet for both of your problems is to get an external cd-rom and floppy drive that uses USB connectivity.
As long as you have a usb port, it will work. Just be careful about the version of USB it implicates (1.0 or 2.0?)

Frightcrawler, would an external USB CD-ROM allow me to install Windows 98SE from CD? Keep in mind that this is a 166MHz Pentium laptop with a BIOS dated 1997.
