If its unlikely you'll be formatting your laptop in the near future. And
really, smiles, who knows this for sure, you can get an auth key sent to you
from FS by email. Comes as an attached file. Might be good for the time being
until you upgrade.

Hi Andrew
Thanks for the information about the JAWS authorisation being done via
interent from version 6.0. Yes, I know I can use a portable floppy drive to
transfer the authorisation key, but I was trying to avoid buying another
portable device if possible - but I don't think I'll be able to.
Thanks.

Hi,
I can say that I have successfully used a USB floppy to transfer the auth key
at work running 5.1 to the hard drive - the Dell system I use doesn't have a
floppy.
Having said this, from 6.0 the JFW key is using the Internet not a floppy.
Andrew.

Hi George
I would certainly initially need access to a floppy disk drive to install my
JAWS authorisation, which is still on floppy disk. Are there any plans to
put the JAWS authorisation on to a CD in the future?

Hi Theresa,
These are few and far between these days. The floppy drive is all but dead.
A 128 MD USB memory key is about the price opf an external floppy (£20) and
holds the equivalent of over 80 floppy disks.

Subject: [access-uk] Laptops with Floppy Disk Drives
Hi All
I'm looking at buying a new laptop and from my brief searching around the
internet this evening, realise that a lot of them no longer have the option
of an internal floppy disk drive. I know I can buy a portable USB floppy
disk drive, but want to avoid that if at all possible.
Can anyone recommend any particular laptops that still have an internal
floppy disk drive?
Thanks.
