SP........but i felt seriously is not a need, as floppy disc is nowadays not very realible, i lost several projects on them, and most, if not all, applications are available in CD mode.
This is like giving BNDEP 100+ Mk2 NAC as SP....
I have an old floppy drive in my case but i did not connect it
floppy might come in useful when u have stored the boot.ini thingy, and your hdd and all your cd drive fails
maybe ur comp can boot on floppy
but based on today's technology, computer crashing to the limit that floppy must be used to safe it, seemed to be something rare
floppy always fails, dont bother getting 1...
Dvd drive is good enough..
