Connecting old Floppy Drive to modern computer
I need a way to write on floppy disks from my modern PC (motherboard GIGABYTE z730p). I own a Panasonic JU-257A606P I took from an old machine of mine, and before buying a USB floppy drive I wanted to give it a try.
Is there some kind of adapter…

Was the WD1761 series binned FD1791's, or an entirely separate line?
