Scott,

I understand Antec's frustration with this list.

It seems that if we users do not *annoy* the great god developers, we
are ignored.  I suppose that you think that if you do not answer us or
post some sort of arrogant rant that we will go away.

  Not this time!

 Thousands of us have older hardware that have floppy drives, and we
still use them! *Most* of us are not so wealthy as to be able to run
down to our nearby electronics store and buy brand new computers just so
that we can support the latest and greatest Operating System.

Not Helpful?

Well, Lemme see....

25 minutes on my computer found:

Model 2055A-SLI   Use "Configurator" to add floppy drive

I fail to see why you could not take the time to find a computer for
sale with a floppy drive.

I may be old fashioned, but if I were developing Operating Systems for
the public to use, I would have a *huge* stack of old PC's hanging
around for *regression* *testing*

Cheers,
