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?....
