Hey you techie types.

How hard is it to switch out an A: drive?

Is it 'plug & play' or do you need some software?

My a: drive has been a VERY finicky little bitch for a long time now and so I bought an old computer at a yard sale to cannibalize for parts, but I don't want to get in the middle of it and find I've screwed something up.

I presume you're talking about a floppy drive?

Should swap in without the need of software.

If it's a floppy drive, just make sure that you put the ribbon cable on correctly. If it is on backwards, usually the light on the drive will stay on and the drive will be unable to read disks. A new floppy drive is not incredibly expensive (usually around $10-$15).
