No, really. I installed a 25-year-old floppy drive in my new custom-built computer. XP recognized it, I tested it by copying a file to some old floppies then reading it off the diskette...worked great. Only problem is it's noisy when I boot or refresh drives under My Computer.

Great lover or retro PC technology myself ^_^ (I'm a junkie really :p)

Have a few myself. But they dont seem retrievable (I MUST get one though)

Friend has one that looks mint :p (got it from this OLLLD PC, that was taken good care of).

What I need, either for him or I now, are some DISKS! :[
