[QUOTE="MBP17•David, post: 1582280, member: 320225"] Apart from getting a new keyboard, there are two [low cost] options you might want to consider: [LIST] [*]A new [URL="http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Brand-New-Black-TEAC-1-44MB-3-5-Floppy-Drive/587838010.html"]3.5" Floppy Drive[/URL] - these are about $10-$15 delivered from AliExpress or similar sources. Some specifically mention Mac compatibility, so at least there's "not as described" recourse, if it doesn't work properly. [*]A [URL="http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shipping-Brand-New-3-5-1-2MB-USB-Floppy-Disk-Drive-Emulator-for-SHIMA-SEIKI/607757248.html"]Floppy Drive Emulator[/URL] for your keyboard, although, I must say, these look rather ugly, particularly, if there's no way to fit it in, instead of the existing drive. [/LIST] There's no guarantee, of course, that either of these will be any faster though ... :\ [/QUOTE]
