cooper Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I actually did this with a floppy drive once. This was in the old days when floppy drives had a GAZILLION jumpers on the back of them and very little in the way of description for what everything was. I had just removed the old, clunky 5.25" floppy drive from my machine. That drive REQUIRED to be A: so I managed to set the 3.5"floppy drive to B: using the jumpers years before. With the 5.25" one gone I wanted the 3.5" one to be A: again, so I tried a jumper combo, turned the machine on. Didn't work. Turned it off, tried a different combo, turned it on. Didn't work. Turned it off, tried a different combo, turned it on. Didn't work. Turned it off, tried a different combo, turned it on. Didn't work. ... Eventually I got so tired of having to turn the machine off and on again, that I figured 'fuck it' and began changing jumpers while the machine was on. Now, this particular floppy drive had the drive mechanism somewhat exposed on the bottom. There was this huge disc at the bottom that would rotate along with the floppy. As I was changing jumpers all of a sudden that thing began to spin up like crazy, and make a clear "whooooOOOOOOO" sound. I unplugged the thing, and it was really hot to the touch. Of course, that was also the last time that drive moved. So yeah, unless it's advertised as such, things aren't hot-swappable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Kitchen Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 When I was 16, at a LAN party, I plugged in a floppy molex incorrectly. Not sure how I managed to get it one pin off, but it was in a dark corner of this case and I couldn't exactly see what was going on. I pluggin in the floppy, started to wonder why it wasnt booting off the bios flash disk i inserted. Went to unplug it and it was burning hot to the touch. After a nice little 2nd degree burn I unplugged the fried PSU and realized my mistake. The molex had melted onto the floppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
