Re: A long time ago
I had one as well. Long time ago when floppy disks were a thing (think late 90s and early 00s). I had a floppy drive and its power connection was broken. Basically socket for the power connection was dislocated very cleanly. No proken parts at all expect the solder to hold connect the metal parts. At that time, I hrdly used floppy but one day I had to use it to install OS on the machine. I simply put pins from mom's sewing kit into the holes on the floppy's board and taped them there. IT worked fine and I never put anything permamant at all. Of course later, we all forgot about floppy drives.
I still have the floppy drive. I don't know it would work or not.
