Abstract
Abstract A computer system has two floppy disk drive connectors (60, 61) for internally connecting two floppy disk drives (32A, 32B) and a hard disk drive connector (42) for internally connecting a hard disk drive (100). One of the two floppy disk drives (32A, 32B) is disconnected from its connector and instead the hard disk drive (100) is connected to the hard disk drive connector (42) of the computer system.
