Nothing super exciting here, but I thought I would throw up some pictures of an FZ-35S5A1 since I couldn't find any pics of it with a quick google search.
This unit is slightly different from the FZ-35S1H1 (pictured all over the place) in that it has an LS-120 SuperDisk drive instead of an HDD.


Here is a picture of the setup along with vizHouse:

In the next two pictures, the FZ-35S5A1 unit is on top and the more common FZ-35S1H1 unit is underneath.
The SuperDisk drive can clearly be seen in the first picture of the front of the two units.

Is it possible to boot the system from the floppy drive?

Ha a SuperDrive. I've got something like 15 disks laying around here with a USB SuperDrive. Stop gap solution for a problem CD-ROM completely solved.

Yes, the system is booted from the floppy drive.

That is interesting. Would you happen to know if the FZ-35S5A1 has a different bios compared to the FZ-35S1H1? Have you ever opened the unit to see where and how the floppy drive is connected to the mainboard?

And two more (unrelated) questions while i am at it;

- Does the Dolphin demo boot on the FZ-351H1/5A1?
- Does IMSA racing boot on the FZ-21S1?
