Need 8400 floppy kit

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

Does anyone out there have a Dimension 8400 and not want the floppy drive?
I have an 8400 with no floppy, yet I still find myself needing one from time
to time. If anyone wants to trade, I will give my solid floppy drive cover
and $20 cash for your floppy drive w/mounting bracket and front cover. Let
me know.

I looked on the site and only found external floppy drives for use with the
Dimension. Do you have a part number? That would really help ) Thanks!

I just wanted an internal floppy. I have found something that I like much
better though while checking out pricewatch. It is a Mitsumi FA404M black
bezel floppy drive and 7-in-1 card reader. All in one unit! Only $25
shipped. I am happy.

Also, I just ordered a SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum from buy.com for $117 after
rebate...an awesome deal considering it comes with the Audigy drive and
remote. Dell charges $70 extra during system configuration just for the
card w/o the drive and remote.

That Audigy card will work with everything except the front headphone jack
under the front system I/O door. The cable won't connect to a retail card,
FYI.
