I'm not sure what external with cable they could be talking about unless it's the USB floppy in which case you
can't remove the cable w/o breaking it. There is no "external" floppy port on the T-20's I work with at work.
There is the slim bay floppy (which is probably their internal/swappable item) and external would most likely be
the USB. I don't dismiss the possiblity of an external floppy cable, but I just don't know where it'd hook up.
Maybe the T-22's have such port? Bill??
