I've no idea which motherboard you are thinking of
getting, but I just
looked and it appears that several of the Gigabyte ones on NewEgg have
a connector labeled FDD. I'm thinking that's for a Floppy Disk Drive,
though it seems one is not mentioned in the list of storage devices.
BTW, I've no affiliation with either Gigabyte or NewEgg; I'm just a
very satisfied customer of both. If you're thinking of an already
assembled PC replacement then I'm sure you're right that there won't
be a floppy drive included, and for cost reasons there probably won't
be a port/connector either. Later, Charlie C.
Floppies aren't mentioned in the features section, even when the
motherboard has one. My suggestion is to take the motherboard you're
thinking about buying and go to the manufacturer's website and
download the manual for it. The manual will tell you if and how many
floppy drives the motherboard will support.
