I occasionally need to handle floppies (if you know me, you know that's true). I'd like to find a late Mobo with a genuine legacy floppy controller--and a PATA/IDE port wouldn't hurt either.
It seems that AM3+ may be the last line of boards to support that old cruft. Is that true? I'm looking at a couple of old boards right now--a ASRock M3A770DE and a Biostar A880GZ. Does anyone know of something better? I'll probably use a CPU I already have--an AMD Athlon II 640.
Advice solicited!
(Please don't suggest that I use a USB floppy--I've had it with them )
