You can do alot with a floppy...
Sometimes a physical connected floppy is a good thing. You can fudge all the parameters and get a bit more storage (1.7Mb) to play with. Also some other devices (I have an EPROM programmer) use them for programs/data transfer. Yes, 1.44 MB IS limiting, but very useful. To be sure, the driver hasn't changed (I suspect), so there isn't any real reason to NOT keep it around.
Of course, the driver might be larger than the drive it is to support, which is normal these days.
Now about that printer port.........
Biting the hand that feeds IT
