hello all, this may sound oldish, but i need two floppy drives installed on my cpu. sadly to say, ASUS P4P800-X supports only 1 floppy drive in the bios. is there a workaround on this one? can someone help me edit the bios? please help. hoping for your favorable response. thanks again.

What happens if you just connect a second floppy drive to the FDD cable?
If this doesn't work, would a USB floppy drive be acceptable?
Thanks.

the leds of both floppy drive just turned on steady. nothing happens. and it can't be detected in windows too.
i can't use usb floppy drive. it's too bulky . thanks

sounds like a twisted cable. the drive leds should only turn on if you access the drive.
