5-1/4 diskette drive on current computers

[john ball]

I see why not. I still see Intel/AMD boards that come out with support for the 5 1/4" drive but it's becoming more and more uncommon.


My MSI K7N2 Delta2-LSR can support one 5 1/4" drive.
I have also had success both read and writing 5 1/4" floppies on Windows XP professional also.
As a matter of fact, XP was the last OS from micro$oft to include built-in support for 5 1/4" floppies. Nothing says that the die-hards won't patch Vista and bring back 5 1/4" support.
