That is the problem now. The Floppy drive is obsolete and out of date. No new systems use them or have them installed. I don't bother including them in new system builds. but for anyone interested in retro computers they all use floppy drives and we need a way to transfer files. At the moment we can source drives, but I can see this becoming more of a problem in the next few years as manufacturers stop making floppy drives and the disks.
If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

An idea might be to purchase 2 brand new USB floppy drives, keep them in a safe place unopened in their packaging. Then when the time comes to replace, you have 2 more.
