Well, the
reason I wasn't going to use a floppy drive was the fact that I
would have to build an IDE controller. How hard are they to build?
You'd not want an IDE controller for a floppy drive (although on most
PCs, the IDE interface -- basically a buffered version of the system bus,
and the floppy controller are on the same board, and maybe in the same ASIC).
