It's very difficult and bordering on impossible to get an internal floppy drive in a modern pc. Probably the best bet is digging up a IDE LS-120 drive somewhere and using it through a PCI IDE controller.




Those actually use a floppy bus for the floppy disk drive, and good luck finding a pci floppy controller. I doubt one ever existed.


Brand new perhaps it's difficult. But it was easy five years ago and a high end computer from then stands up well. Anyway why restrict yourself to internal?
