Inspiron 530s
In order to run important business software, I plan to run Windows 98 (2nd Ed) on this Inspiron 530s.
I think that having a functioning floppy drive will help ensure successful installation.
Where can I find an internal floppy drive compatible with this system?
It has a floppy drive controller and a bios that is looking for the drive.
It is now running 32bit Vista basic.

A 34-pin floppy drive data cable will also be needed:
