You actually still have files saved on Floppies? None of my machines
have floppies.
Why not a USB floppy drive?

I assume that old 3.5in 1.44MB floppy drives use the old eide interface.
And, I am now noticing new m/b's that do not have a floppy connector.
OK. I understand.
Is there any kind of external conversion box (eide-usb) I can use to
keep a NEW "working" Sony/TEAC 3.5in floppy drive around for some time.
Yes, I do so know that I should have converted all my old floppies to
usb sticks years ago. Fine. I'm late with this, also! Sue me!
It seems that I am finding out what the life of Sony/TEAC floppy
drives useful life may be. All mine are 12-15 (or more!) yrs old!
Wondering?
