John (invent-write) wrote : Floppy drive costs

IBM Thinkpads have a floppy option.
There are millions of Toshiba's still in use that have it.
Anyone of a number of suppliers for "build your own or for hardware can
supply "floppy" and a great number of mother boards still have a
provision for a floppy as do many desktops.

A floppy drive costs about 20 bucks and are available from a number of
suppliers.
Newegg for example has them from 8 dollars up and there are a number of
others as well.

Millions of people build their own computers or buy a basic computer and
add hardware into it as needed.
IBM thinkpad "Ultrabay" has a floppy option.
I think DELL will still put one in a new machine if you order it.
