- or: buy an external HD-Floppy-drive.
- BUT: at least with my C= A4000T I lack the external floppy-drive connector
- on the backside of the Tower. There seems to be some soldering space reserved
- for such a connector though, on the A4kT's disk module.
-
- Do you deliver the new A4000T's with an external connector for drives such
- as the DELL-slimline or the original CHINON ones?
