No… not that kind of floppy…a disk-type one. Why is this useful? Apparently some BIOS updates still need you to jam in a floppy disk, despite the fact that many a PC nowadays ships without a drive for you to jam the disk into. So HP’s floppy-emulating USB flash drive gizmo is more a sysadmin’s friend, rather than your average user’s fare, but you can at least switch it over to behaving like a normal flash drive. Available now in 256MB and 1GB sizes for $49 and $79.
If you’re a sysadmin, you may have noticed a somewhat annoying trend: computers — especially servers — rarely ship with floppy drives any more, and yet BIOS updates still often require that you boot from a floppy disk! Sure, you can jump through hoops and place a bootable image onto a normal USB memory stick, but that can be complicated and time consuming. The HP USB Floppy Drive Key provides a 2-in-1 USB media solution that presents to the host comptuer a normal USB storage device and a USB floppy device! Simply connect the USB key to a computer, place the files you want onto the USB floppy, and then move the key over to the floppy-less computer and boot. No need to hang onto a dedicated USB floppy drive, and one more reason to ditch all those old floppy disks you’ve been hanging onto since your Windows 3.1 days.
Interesting website. Thank you, you describe the topic very well
I really like your reading. Thanks so much, great share.
I supposed all of it comes down to private predilection and also what type else you are wearing; trousers, jeans, shoes, trainers.
simply have to state you generate quite a few great points and may submit a few strategies to add on shortly after a day or two.
