Do you have a Floppy Drive in your PC Case?

 

[ScrapSilicon]

no and where's the poll ...?

 

[yelo333]

Yes, but...where is the poll?

 

[imported_Kensai]

Nope.

 

[MobiusPizza]

Yes. Whenever you fit a brand new floppy drive in my PC it will MALFUNCTION in 3 days maximum

Why? Dunno, dust just accumulates and then drive fails miserably.

So physically yes, I have a floppy drive. But it doesn't work.

 

[T9D]

No

Floppies need to die

 

[Tarrant64]

yes, and where's the poll?

 

[Bonesdad]

how many times has this poll been run here??? Do we need another??? Poll that...

 

[xsilver]

yes, but its not plugged in -- only when i need it, its plugged in

and annihilatorX -- maybe just your bad luck? - my fdd has served me for 8+ years -- no probs (was from my 486, sony, made in japan maybe?

 

[Jotho]

Yep, Panasonic.

 

[dunkster]

I consider a floppy drive indispensable for quick execution of a number of diagnostic programs. While 'old tech', I consider it the most effective $10 investment in any PC.

 

[rise]

where's the poll

 

[stevem326]

Yep, I was just gonna say that. I have a floppy drive so I can run SpinRite by Steve Gibson and other DOS-based utilities.

 

[SVT Cobra]

Of course, while i may use other things for quick portable storage, you still need it for DOS progs and some other things...

 

[raincityboy]

I don't, but I have 1 laying around if I need it.
Poll erectile dysfunction?

Yup, it still comes in handy every once in a blue moon !

 

[sparks]

Using an Antec Aria so there is no room for one. I don't really miss it, the only time I needed one was during the initial install OS when I had to install the SATA drivers.

 

[daniel1113]

Nein.

 

[NiKeFiDO]

Actually, they are optional on most of thier systems now. I have a floppy drive, and I almost had two but then I relised I could only plug one into the mobo.
