Don't Kill The Floppy!

[marcfrick2112]

I guess I don't 'like' the floppy, I just find that I need to use one periodically. Example, even for my Compaq PC which had no floppy, I found I needed one to install the driver for my Wingman joystick... sure WinXP has a driver built-in, I can download a driver.... but these seem stripped down compared to the offical driver on floppy. Also, it's handy to be able to transfer small files to my dad's 2 A1200's that have no CD-ROM drive.

And it's kinda handy to boot up my A1200T from a floppy disk, should I need to....

Yup, same here... Had to add a USB FDD to my Compaq PC, to install the joystick driver, and to update the BIOS of my CD burner.... all other computers have floppy drives standard, even my Linux box.....
