They mount easily, and use virtually no computer resources. Why not put one in? I rarely need it, but the few times I do I'm glad it's there. Any box I build gets a 3½" drive. I have old floppies that sometimes (rarely) I need. What I've really given up on are the >really old< bigger floppies. I have 5¼" floppies that may never see the inside of a drive again. I also have a few 8" floppies that I keep for posterity's sake. Floppy drives are cheap, usually about $12 give or take 2 bucks. They mount easily, and use virtually no computer resources.
