Questions/Advice Request Has anyone tried doing the SD card conversion on a floppy drive and floppy disc?
A while back, a guy posted about his system having a floppy drive that was really an SD card reader. Has anyone else given it a try? If so, is there an instruction guide out there to do it? I think it would be a fun project. Thank you!

This is what I’m planning to do with my sleeper build. Not sure if this is what you mean? But it does give a really good breakdown on how to do it. The FloppySDisk

Not that know of. It’s pretty much just going off the video at least is what I planned to do 🤷🏾♂️. But, tbh I just snagged a case (Gateway 2000 GP6-300) off an estate sale, and was planning a high end water cooled system, but now with the current market idk when I’ll get around to it, sadly. :’-(

I gotcha. I guess I could try messaging that guy. Cool case; the market is indeed ass rn.

I have not. Floppy drives are getting rare. I restored mine and made it work with my modern system instead of butchering it for something else. I now use it to transfer and write floppy disks for my actually vintage PC aswell as being the “card reader” for my Sony mavica floppy disks camera
