Ok, ok. I admit it. I was being a bit facetious. You can still buy them 
online. In fact, according to newegg, you can get them really cheap (the 
USB floppy drives cost $20, but you can get a _genuine_ floppy drive for 
$7.99.

Although one comment says it all:

	Cons: I ordered 5. After 45 days 3 of them have failed. Too late to return.

so apparently you do need to order a lot of them to keep them going ;)

So here's a one-time offer: if you want to really fix that driver, I'm 
willing to pay the $7.99 to buy the hardware for you. I won't touch it 
myself with a 10-foot pole, though ;)
