I remember the days where dell started leading the way of no floppy drives. So long ago, but I recall having to fake the floppy drive with a cdrw, so backups could still work. I think that's an alternative you could take. I created a start up batch file that made the ROM drive the required floppy drive letter it needed. I'm thinking "NET" DOS command made it possible? In making it a network drive that you assigned the drive letter to.

And since this a blast from the past, the very first CDROM drives that came out were heavy and solid, they made them reliable and more to the point, to make sure they ran as it was a new age. Now they the new floppy drives, very cheap and not that reliable.

Cheers,
