New 5 1/4 floppy disk drive???

[Steve-O]

Does that exist? Boss wants a new one, not used. Any companies still make em? I took a look around and didn't see anything. Thanks.

I don't think they sell them anymore..
HOWEVER, the link above shows combo ones (a 3.5 & 5.25 drive togeter).
That'll prolly work for your boss. if he's willing to shell out 25 bucks

heh.. believe it or not, i think i may still have some laying around.. antiques.. they'll make me rich someday! :D

Why the 5.25" floppy drive! We hardly use the 3.5" floppy anymore!

My guess is his boss has some ancient business software or something. . . or maybe a large ascii pr0n collection hehe.

What is really gonna suck is that when you are done running all over to find that antique you're just going to discover that anything that was put on those 5.25s is corrupted anyway.
