Floppy Drive B

The type of the second floppy drive. See common choices under "Floppy Drive A" above.

The type of the second floppy drive. The choices normally are:

  • 1.44 MB: A normal 3.5" drive.
  • 1.2 MB: A normal 5.25" drive.
  • 2.88 MB: A high-density 3.5" drive, found on some newer systems.
  • 720 KB: A low-density 3.5" drive.
  • 360 KB: A low-density 5.25" drive.
  • None: No floppy drive present in the "floppy A" position. May read "not installed" or similar.

This setting usually defaults to "none" or "not installed" since most PCs don't have a second floppy drive.
