Just plug it in - of course you need an 'old' cable
with _two_ connectors of which one should be an
ege type - and don't forget that it has to be
twisted.

Every BIOS I know still supports 5 1/4 - even 360s
and 720s. And Windoze dose for shure.

I have one XP machine with 4(5) drives.
1.44 3 1/2
 720 3 1/2 and 5 1/4
 1.2 5 1/4
 360 5 1/4
