Hi all,
As some of you may know already, I was given a Compaq LTE Lite 25 which I brought back to life. The laptop came with a black 3.5" external FDD, that connects via a parallel port plug. I wasn't sure why this drive was there, until I realized that the internal disk drive was not working.
Now, without a working floppy drive, I am a bit stuck to copy files from/to the machine, so I tried to make this external drive work. Unfortunately I have no idea how this is supposed to be configured. I did connect it to the laptop, then in the BIOS there is an option to indicate that an external FDD is present but it does not seem to have any effect.
Would someone know how this is supposed to work? Thanks.
