They've been there for months and people are not buying them.If installing Windows XP or 2003 Server on a PC (I know!) then the only means of installing device drivers for storage adaptors not covered by the install CD is via a floppy.
Or by slipstreaming the drivers onto a copy of the install CD, a method becoming very popular these days--particularly with all the updates that can also be pre-applied. This approach can be used to make a start-and-forget CD install. -michael Music synthesis for 8-bit Apple II's!
