I've got to admit, it's been a long time since I even connected a floppy
on my box.. just replace it with a card reader.. :)
Hell, the ECS (and any NF4 type board) will boot to a card.. makes them
more convenient then floppies :)
Just this past Sat. I had a client that has a Dell that took an electrical
jolt that blew out the network chip [on board]. She got tired of being on
hold for 30 min twice with their TS. I told her only 30 min & you hung up,
that's the minimum wait many places but you didn't wait long enough to talk
to Abraham Lincoln, who is an Indian fellow that has taken an American name
that can barely speak English. Any how, out of frustration [she only bought
the minimum 1yr replacement warranty] she went to Walmart & bought a NIC
then she tried to install the thing with the cable company's TS help. She
was damn lucky she didn't screw it up any worse than it was but fortunately
there was almost nothing in the box to screw up. Come to find out the NIC
came with drivers on a floppy disk & the machine didn't have a floppy drive
so I dumped the drivers onto my thumb drive & installed the card. I charged
her double for buying a Dell & then buying the NIC at Walmart & she was
still happy.
Some people you can't make happy & others you can't tick off no matter
what. I wish I could read the later kind better so I would know when to
charge more. <lol>
