I know it can be difficult, but it might be time to move on. Before I got myself a WRT54GL, I was running LEAF on a 1GHz Pentium III, booting entirely from a CD. I made a couple coasters, but eventually it worked and worked quite well. The CD was WAY more reliable than the dual-floppy setup I had previously. It is also way quieter! And lower power! Besides, where do you get replacement floppy disks and drives anymore? I still keep the old LEAF box around in case of emergencies, but I've never needed it and eventually even its hardware will be too out of date to be worth keeping. The cable modem I have now supports over 300Mbit/s. My old LEAF box only has PCI card slots and 100Mbit cards. Sure it will be a long while before Time Warner or WOW offer something close to 300Mbit standard, but still, that day will come. Or maybe Google Fiber will move to my town next. My 2 cents. See if you can find a spare IDE CD/DVD drive and burn your router to CD. You can include USB functionality if you want expandability. Alternatively, you might look around for what's available in the small form factor PC space. It's more than just Shuttles these days.
