Hi,
I just bought a A6 and my gf needs a floppy drive aswell, just wondering what is the difference between PA3109U3FDD and PA3109U1FDD ??
Thanks

I think the PA3109U-3FDD is just the current model. Even though the PA3109U-1FDD is listed on toshiba's site, It isn't on our systems anymore. Possibally USB 2.0 or something. Dunno.

I just see tonnes of 1FDD on ebay (and much cheaper than 3FDD) and hoping that it is basically the same product.

Just different models... they both do exactly the same job.

A bit of topic but you can't get her to use a USB THumb Drive, they're faster, cheaper, survive dropping and the washing machine - mine did anyway

Otherwise a Yumcha USB Floppy from Ebay might be the go,

Cheers Pedro :-)

I can get her to use a thumb drive but the problem is with the schools she goes to, they dont have any usb (front or back) and wont allow her lappy to connect to their network.
