    I just want a simple plug and play floppy drive that reads as fast as possible. Any ideas?

    if you want a drive that reads as fast as possible get Either the Sony titanium 512MB stick or the LExar 80x 1GB stick

    the titanium is the fastest the lexar is the 2nd fastest.

    floppy drives are next to useless (you can't even fit the drivers for the USB drives on 1 floppy LOL they are 2.5+ MB)

    -->Asus M6BNe | Pentium M 1.6GHz Dothan | 1024MB PC2700 Micron Ram | Radeon 9700 Pro 64MB | 80GB Samsung 5400 RPM 8MB Cache | Gigabit LAN | CDRW + DVD Combo |
    -->Compal CL56 | Pentium M 1.6GHz Dothan | 1024MB Ram | Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB | 60GB HDD | 10/100 LAN | DVDRW |
