I have a floppy module for my Inspiron, but I generally don’t bother with it, or even include floppy support in the systems I build. And the 100Mhz machine has no USB ports. So unless I already have a working system installed, I have to transplant the drive anyway, so I might as well just mount the system, chroot and build it directly in place.
