    My old computer runs ME, so no problem there. (Oh, and I checked its bios today, it does have 5 1/4" disk drive options. Nice.) As for putting it in my newer machine, the Vista one, though... yeah, my guess would be that the bios probably doesn't support them, but I haven't checked. It'd probably just make more sense to put it in the old one anyway, though, if I got a 5 1/4" drive that is?

    ... It would be able to see how many of those old disks still work though.

    Actually I'd like one as well.

    Why not be a doll and link to one that I can purchase from a known trusting retailer.

    That came out wrong.

    Actually, I thought I did see a link to one the other day, but it was probably just a link relating to the aforementioned FC5025.
