( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I'll chime one in for the death of floppy disks. About a year ago, I got a brand spanking new Promise SATA disk controller, and all the drivers were sent on a floppy disk. The last time I actually tried to use my floppy drive, it managed to short itself out. The power wires connected to it quickly became hot enough to burn through the insulation. So I'm a little wary of hooking up any of the old floppy drives I have laying around, even for SATA. Good thing Promise has a nice online archive of their drivers.

(I leave a floppy drive in the case, just because I don't have a cover for my 3.5" bay and need something there to keep the dust out. But it's not hooked up.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
