I read this as "excluding the iMac and later models". IOW, the beige
G3s including the AIO which is marginally on topic here were the
latest Macs to have a floppy. The iMac, first (clamshell) iBooks, G3
B&W and follow-ups didn't. Somebody found the lack of a floppy drive
in the iMac so bad he made a comic strip of a guy disguising as an
iMac for Halloween who scared the s%$t out of his buddies because "he
didn't have a floppy drive" - aaarrgh! Too bad I don't find the URL in
my archives... If I do I'll send it, the pics were funny.
But the first iMacs had the 'remains' of a floppy interface, which
could be brought to life with a 20 way cable and a soldering iron,
ISTR!
