I think around 2008...was the last batch of new CPUs that I saw that had the capability to take a floppy from a DOD source. For a year or two prior to that....it was an item which you had to ask for and added some cost to the CPU.

She’s just not that bright.

Considering some of the things I have seen come out of government offices this year I wouldn’t want to bet that all their systems are up to date. Know that music on 78’s is coming back this year but a floppy for data is stretching it back a little far.
