External floppy for 600X on a T30?

#1 Post by danparkcityut » Tue Apr 26, 2005 7:50 pm

Here's an oddball question for ya...

I have an old 600X external floppy with a "molex" (yeah, I know, it's a company name, but that is all that's identifying it) connecor that looks like it would hook right up with my T30.

Do you suppose I could use that floppy on my T30?

TIA

Dan

Oops, it didn't occur to me that I might be the first to try this. Sure hope I don't blow something up when I do, I'll post back and let you know what I came up with..

It's a perfect fit Dan, also fits most of the Selecta-Docks.

Hey thanks for the reply James! I still haven't tried it, but am now confident it will work fine.

Hi Dan,

I am using my floppy drive from 600E with my T40p.
The T40p does not have the "molex" connector, but my port replicator has it :-D
Cheers
