@SatoshiMatrix1 Ok, thanks! Im just wondering because im trying to make a games console at the moment that runs off normal floppys and runs compiled/non compiled basic games :D

@sammyslamdunk Technically, the FDS will work with both NES models. To get it into a toaster NES, you need to take the lid off the system and remove the ZIF loader and then attach the RAM adapter in that way. Obviously not the best way of playing the FDS. It will also work on a NES-101 toploader without doing that because of the redesign, but neither version will produce expansion audio from the FDS without modding. The toaster can be modded, but not the top loader.

@Robobbly the Famicom Disk System used proprietary floppy disks in an attempt to thwart piracy. Eventually pirates managed to copy the format and produce their own games, and then ROM cartridges surpassed the capabilities of the FDS, and the format quickly died. If nothing else, the FDS floppies were anything but normal or standard. Most of them didn't even have the spring loaded dust covers that most standard floppy disks have!

@SatoshiMatrix1 Are the disks, normal floppy disks or are the diffrent?
-
@sammyslamdunk it'll work in a top loader but you have to put it in backwards
-
Question, will this work with an NES or the Top loader?
