This board was shipped to me because the floppy controller supposedly did not work:
Doofus's Asus box as shipped to me
THAT'S exactly how he shipped it! Slap a label on it and off we go!
When I opened it, I wasn't surprised at this point to find this:
Inside of doofus's box
No fill even. He didn't even have the decency to wrap the board in bubble wrap or even put it in a static bag! Last board I got like this had the caps knocked off of it from all of the crap rattling around inside it.
Not only was the board NOT DEAD but the floppy controller ACTUALLY WORKED PERFECTLY.
I slapped a post it on the outside of the box that simply said "is this how you normally ship stuff?" and stuck it in a box with foam peanuts and shipped it back to him.
Sigh.
