Need software for Toshiba USB FDD kit. Model: PA3109U-1FDD

I found this

There is no specific driver for this drive. You can use a generic driver, I've done it before but cannot recall the exact driver used. It was either a Teac or NEC driver. You must select the driver manually in the device manager and it seems like an odd selection but it does work. If I can locate any additional info I'll update this answer.

..

take the drive out of the specific holder and you will find it has the standard connections for a laptop floppy drive on it.. find a USB floppy drive case and insert it. Boom. good to go.

this model is too old to boot from a usb version1
maybe you can flash the bios to upgrade usb1 to usb version 2
or, load the ubuntu linux operating system using a CD

Hi Skuddle.
Try looking on eBay and Amazon, you can usually find what you are looking for. You should be able to find something, if not Google it. Hope this helps.

possible driver error? try going to the site itself and look for the drivers if you dont have a disk

Old PC and Laptop used to have software and device driver delivered on low capacity (usually 1.44MB 3.5 in) 'Floppy' disk diskette (FDD):

'A floppy disk is a data storage medium that is composed of a disk of thin, flexible ("floppy") magnetic storage medium sealed in a square or rectangular plastic carrier lined with fabric that removes dust particles'.

Newer machines usually will not come with FDD drive as we now use CD or DVD or even external USB stick/storage instead. If a FDD is required, you can get an external USB connected FDD as a standard FDD drive will require the support of a specific FDD adapter.

Hope it clarify your question.

U check your BIOS system.

Thats looks like a proprietary connector, you will not find a cable that will convert that fdd to USB, sorry :|
Anyway I doubt the cable would be much cheaper than a new USB external FDD.
USB FDD on EBAY $10

yeas a device driver is a peice of software. it basicly tells your computer what device you've attached and what it does.. if you know the manufacture and model number you can normally type that in google follwed by driver and will give you a list of sources to download it from... you will never have to pay for a driver as it is free from the manufacturer normally on a cd that comes with the device... if you have windows xp or later windows should automaticly recognise it and set it up for you.. it will then appear in you my computer section as a new drive

nope floppy
