Hello,
Does anyone have experience with Toshiba's external 5.25 floppy drive add on? It's advertised for use with their T-series machines, model# PA7225U. It's a 360K drive that connects via the parallel port and then you flip a switch on the side of the computer case to assign the drive to A: or B: I've been trying to get mine to work with my T3200SXC and so far no success. The floppy drive spins up, but DOS reports back no disk in drive when trying to access. The BIOS utility confirms that the drive is detected on power up. I'm using a Radio Shack parallel cable, I'm wondering if there was supposed to be a proprietary cable from Toshiba?
Thank You!
