In what way is the floppy built into the computer that the Zip is not? They
are both internal, they both have to be plugged into the power supply, and they
both have to be attached via ribbon cable. If I disconnect the floppy cable,
it will cease to function also.
So, if it's being connected to the same IDE cable that the hard drive is
connected to that makes it a removable drive, why is the hard drive not a
removable drive?

<<<<So is a floppy if you remove the cable. An internal ZIP connects via the IDE
cable that the hardrives and cd roms connect too. IF you pull the box apart
that an external ZIP is in, it can become a internal ZIP drive, I tried it
not long, just for the hell of it.>>>>Darryl
