    I ordered this floppy drive a few days ago & it arrived today. It says that it is compatible with my Toshiba Tecra 8000 but I thought it would be a selectbay floppy drive like my cd drive. Instead it appears to be a floppy drive you have to install. I don't see where it goes though. I've been looking at my laptop trying to figure it out. Any advice? Or Instructions (none came along with it)?

    I have a Tecra 8100, and you can't have both a CD/DVD and floppy installed at the same time. You either have to have use one or the other, swap in the floppy with the CD/DVD or use the floppy as an external drive. The external connector is on the left hand side just below the PCMCIA slot.
