[raincool2005]

:sweat:

 

[advrider]

[zcf]

still occasionally using it (from colleagues) in office :sweat:

Though personally I use thumb drive now.

Yeap still using.

Configuring a workstation or server, a floppy would be one of the most useful tool.

Hehe........that is my secret.........i have a USB FDD.......

Hehe........that is my secret.........i have a USB FDD.......

Recently i had an external USB harddisk enclosure that required a firmware flash upgrade. It could only be done by booting via IDE floppy; the USB floppy couldn't work. So yeah, i still do keep my 3.5" drive around. You'd never know.

the other day i got a colleague asking me whether do i have a iomega Zip drive... haven't seen one of those for at least... 10years?

next thing u know, someone might just ask if u got a 5 3/4" floppy disc drive. ;p

I've not using it for more than 3 years now :lovegrin:

Think i still have a 5.25 (1.2MB or 360k) diskette somewhere in my data centre. ALso I remember seeing some shops in the HDB estates selling KAO (or Verbatim) 720k and 1.44MB 3.5" diskettes too.

i had alot of MO discs, but because shifting house, in the end, all throw away last week.

man, i remembered one of those cost like 60-70 bucks when i bought them. i still have zip disc though, cos the drive still working. mainly use it for storage of documents.

Computers nowadays don't come with floppy drives anymore.

Well.....my workstation and server works well with USB FDD even there is problem. Whenever there is a problem, this is my best friend......:thumbsup:

The only problem without floppy drive is cannot load SCSI or Raid driver during windows OS setup :sweat:

 

[zuldevil]

I had my 3.5" floppy disk drive plugged in for about... 5 years...

I took it out recently 'cause the IDE cable was in the way of my other cables... Long story there. I was moving around my 3rd hdd, and I was annoyed with the mess. Hahaha.

So I removed the fdd, removed the fdd IDE cable and chucked it inside a cabinet. You never know if the need for an fdd would arise...

 

[yanyewkay]

a relative of mine passed me some photos on a 3.5" FD last year. i was stumped as to how to print them out..

 

[wazzup5]

Still use it, because for some stupid apparent reason that Micro$oft Windoze don't like to include the SCSI/RAID drivers in the CD/DVD and I need to attach a USB FDD to my servers to load the drivers via a 3.5" FD.

Thank goodness servers come with RAID cos I only need to do it once, and then replicate the drives to the other systems.

It reminds me of diskette then to my zip disk. GOod old days.
