   Every 3.5" USB floppy drive I can find looks like sketchy garbage. I buy a new one every 5 years, and it works for, like, 10 disks, and then it does. Can anybody recommend one that isn't trash?

     @donw @waldoj yeah.

     And the think with USB floppy drives is that no one is making them any more. It's all old stock. So they're all cheap shit. Sorry.

     @waldoj this feels like a job for @foone but I fear they love remaindered stuff so much they may be unable to sympathize.
