Abhishek,
My single use case this last few years has been for BIOS updates and
given that one could use PCI pass-through to expose say, an LSI storage
controller to a virtual machine, there may indeed be a use case.

Not so!
I just bought one package of this as a gag gift for a friend's birthday:
http://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-3-5In-1-44MB-Pre-Fmt-10Pk/dp/B511BI/
Paying $10 for ~15MB of storage was a mindblowing experience :)
Yep, completely agree but just want to know if someone has a use case.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi everyone,
Is anybody using floppy disk drives with virtual machines on Hyper-V or any
other hypervisor? I would be interested in knowing both common and obscure
scenarios. Please let me know if you have any thoughts in this direction.
