There are fortunately some options for adding some legacy support to modern machines, such as USB optical and floppy drives. There are also some options for adding modern device support to old machines such as a floppy emulator that accepts USB flash drives as input. For me, rather than getting numerous floppy emulators, I thought it would be better to add floppy support to my new modern machine.

So off to ebay I went and got a generic USB floppy drive for about $12 AUD. It turned out to be a Teac FD 05PUB (also known as UF000x). This model turns up everywhere as it has been made for a while and re-badged as IBM, HP and DELL drives all at some point or another. Looking around I found this was basically the only model of USB floppy drive currently available, which could be a problem as some people have had trouble getting these to work on windows 7 and 10 due to driver issues.

Yes but NLite does that for you. It copies the DVD to your hard drive, adds any additional drivers you want to the proper locations then repackages it all up into an .iso that you burn. It does it all for you. You can even add service packs if you wish.

With the smart a$$ comments aside, sometimes you can use a usb floppy drive (I have one for just these circumstances) to load the drivers. But I found it is highly dependent on the bios in the target computer. Once you cross the vista/win7/2008 kernel you can load the F6 drivers from a usb flash drive.
