Floppy Disk Drive with 7–in-1 Card Reader. Weird combination of old and new. A 3.5 inch plug-in floppy disk drive unit complete with a memory card reader installed. So..ah..you can transfer all your ancient floppy borne banking details to your digital camera SD card in a snap. Or something. Um…didn’t they make floppy disks illegal a few years back? Out of sheer embarrassment? £19.99.

This is old stuff. I got one of these drives about 3 years ago…

Ichy, – heh, just to say that I’m not really a *new* type of bod around these parts. I tend to just feature stuff that I haven’t seen before which seems interesting and in some way quirky or valuable. :-)

Sorry if I sounded rude or condescending…Just noting that its ‘an old product’.

Old, but excellent product! :)

:-) no offence taken. :-)

My unit – about 3 yrs old – isn't recognised by Win 7 – or at least the card readers aren't. The floppy works fine. Anyone know of any upgrades to the drivers?

**Edit** Due to lack of knowledge and a bit of misinformation on my part, I realised that this is actually a great product and is sure to please. My problem was that I forgot to enable the floppy drive in my BIOS, which was quite negligent of me if i might add. Great Product!!
