Jamee, have you considered buying a CD-ROM module for your machine if it
supports it? If there's a modular bay chances are it can use a CD-ROM
drive. It'll probably be less than $50 (eBay has one now for $27) and
you can use CDs for software installation instead of floppies.
Bill Morrow and others on this list should be able to confirm if your
755C can indeed use a CD-ROM.
Good luck.
