    Don’t worry about it. That rule hasn’t been relevant in a long time since we no longer use floppy disks

          Nah it’s just like 11 years old and I still had some floppies sitting around back then with stuff on it. I haven’t used it in years.

              Just plug in an ISA card, duh.

              Seriously though you’ve sent me down a rabbit hole that doesn’t have a satisfactory ending (yet). Some kind of LPC to FDC adapter seems to be potentially possible on some motherboards, but haven’t found any concrete evidence of someone having done that yet.

              Most practical solution is to use an external USB drive, strip the casing, print a plate and wire the cable to the onboard USB header on the mobo.

              This may get further research 😂

              You know, I actually don’t know, it was a gift from my father who paid for it to get built, I’ve never actually checked the connection…
