Ok, ok. I admit it. I was being a bit facetious. You can still buy them online. In fact, according to newegg, you can get them really cheap (the USB floppy drives cost $20, but you can get a _genuine_ floppy drive for $7.99.
Although one comment says it all:
Cons: I ordered 5. After 45 days 3 of them have failed. Too late to return.
so apparently you do need to order a lot of them to keep them going ;)
So here's a one-time offer: if you want to really fix that driver, I'm willing to pay the $7.99 to buy the hardware for you. I won't touch it myself with a 10-foot pole, though ;)
