I could replace them both if I can find a modern dual floppy drive, or a new motherboard that has floppy capability, or use a PCI card adapter that lets you use a floppy connector to a floppy drive. Anyone know any of these?
You can just buy a cheap 2gig flash drive a size of a nickel and store 10 trillion floppies worth of files on it and be done with it.

Original games and programs on 5.25" floppies. But I don't know where they went. Original old programs and my college class files on 1.44" floppies. Yeah, I should just take the time to transfer the files.

Maybe a lot of old videos games can be torrented in case I lost the original game key.

New games sometimes really outclass old classic games, like The Red Baron has been outdone by Rise of Flight, which is awesome.
