Amazing to think that the floppy is still in use after so many years in service!
Sheesh those folks haven't heard about Floppy Emulator drives. Transfer those floppy images to flash memory card or USB drive!
There is one seller of floppy drive emulators that has been doing it for a long time now, has solutions for different specialty systems, non-standardized or proprietary formatting, etc. They're like $400 or $500 bucks though. Can't think of the company name. Edit:Most of them are being used by companies on older aircraft or old but incredibly expensive to replace long term industrial machinery installations. In most cases, it isn't possible due to DRM/encryption issues (or in the case of aircraft avionics, even remotely legal to do so) to start hacking in to them to enable them to use any other form of storage medium
