Abstract
A solid-state floppy disk drive is disclosed. In one embodiment, a solid-state floppy disk drive may include a non-volatile memory and a connector for coupling the solid-state floppy disk drive to a computer system. The non-volatile memory may store instructions and data which may allow the solid-state floppy disk drive to emulate a mechanical floppy disk drive having a bootable floppy disk inserted into it. The computer system may be booted using the solid-state floppy disk drive.
