My MSI motherboards have LAN and PXE boot, but I don't think the LAN is legacy. You could possibly try USB-FDD or USB-ZIP, but these might have different disk formats. I remember seeing something in (I believe it was Syslinux) about formatting/partitioning a USB stick to make it look like an Iomega Zip drive. Does anybody still make floppy disks, or USB floppy drives? Modern motherboards have no floppy headers. I browsed iomega.com and got a domain-parking site (Iomega is no longer there). My experience with Gigabyte is less than favorable. Does CDROM on your boot options include DVD? Tom
