It is going to get even worse. My current motherboard doesn't even support a B: drive!
What motherboard?
> As I need the 3.5 inch drive as my A: drive this
Do you really? While I get nervous thinking about not having a floppy drive in my machine, it is entirely possible not to have one. CD-RWs are rewritable, and bootable on any motherboard made past 1998.
As for having older machines around, I feel it comes with the territory. I have an old 286 with a 3.5" high density A: and a 5.25" low-density B: that I use solely for backing up my open-box copy-protected games with a Central Point Option Board. It is slim and takes up no more space than, say, six games lying flat in two columns of three games each. It has VGA so I don't need an extra monitor for it, just an AT/XT keyboard adapter.
