Antec 100 - does it have a spot for floppy drive?

In the details list, it says "external 3.5" drive: NO".

But in the picture, it clearly seems to show some mounting brackets, and a 3.5" floppy-sized cut-out/punch-out panel in the front panel.

I would like to use this case, but I need to be able to keep my 3.5" floppy drive(s).

Page 9 appears to suggest "yes"...

What do you use a floppy drive for these days?

based on the image alone from the PDF, it looks like it's a 3.5" cage in a 5.25" bay. Newegg is probably going on dedicated 3.5" only external bays, which this case technically does not have, just an adapter.

And yeah, wtf do you use a floppy drive for?!?

don't let your friends see that floppy drive. Just hide it like this:

Good old floppy drives. Crazy that they still have their uses, although I will never hopefully have to see them again.

What are you using the drive for?

Nah, actually, I've found a use for it occasionally. Last time, someone wanted me to get their pictures off of an old P3 rig that had crashed. After replacing the PSU, I got it up and running, but it wouldn't boot Win98 into normal mode, only safe mode, so I had to use like 40-50 floppy discs to get all of their pictures off of the computer.

Couldn't you have put the hdd in a working computer or external docking station? 40 floppies is making me sad just to think about.

I needed a floppy the other day though. Got a dfi x48 board. Didn't have the latest bios and the multiplier was wrong for my q9550. DFI didn't have the bios in a method to flash through windows and I couldn't get it to see a flash drive. When I upgrade though, floppies are gone.
