Nah, it's mutual. I don't like to keep stuff either, there has got to be

googling I found that this is by far not the only mobo that has been
lobotomized down to one floppy drive. Only a matter of time until that
number becomes zero (AFAICT it has on some).


Some of the cheap Dell home PCs are shipped without a floppy drive,
and the motherboard didn't have a connector, or the controller chip
installed.
