Floppy drive adaptor

[timwatson19]

Is there any way of making an adaptor that will allow me to connect a floppy drive to an IDE socket? I'm wanting to convert my xbox to a DOS box, but the mobo only has one IDE port, currently used for the HDD and the DVD drive. I'll be removing the DVD drive, and replacing it with a FDD. Also I'll replace the HDD.

You can't simply connect the FDD into one of the IDE ports, the motherboard won't accept it even if you have an appropriate adapter.

Oh. I thought that it was the Hard drivee that had to have drivers on it, not the mobo
