Nope. The only non-beige Macintosh you can connect an old Mac floppy drive to is the first version of the Bondi Blue CRT iMac. Apple was going to have a floppy drive in them but as it got close to production ready, it was eliminated. I assume that required major revisions to the housing as there's no evidence of floppy removal alterations. All that remains of the floppy plan is an empty spot for the header connector. Fortunately that's all you need, a connector and the skill to solder it to the mainboard. And of course a 1.44M SuperDrive and ribbon cable. That model of iMac can also have an ADB port added but unlike the floppy port, Apple left off a few other components instead of simply not installing the connector.

Perhaps there's a way to hook up an old drive to that? -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
