USB Floppy Drive Concept: Oregon Trail Not Included

By Gizmodo US Edition on October 12, 2008 at 5:30 AM

Designer Thomas O’Connor has come up with a concept to join the legions of goofy USB flash drives with this charming USB Floppy Drive. Take one of those floppy disks granpappy’s always going on about, hollow it out, stuff it with some flash storage and a USB dongle and you’ve got a “sustainable” and nostalgic USB drive. It looks to be a mere concept right now, but I bet an enterprising modder could whip one of these up in no time. [Core77]

    what would be really cool about this item is if you could drop old boot images to the “floppy disk” and actually use it in the now defunct A drive… just in case you have an old copy of win98 that you need to reload.
