    Well it's a drop in solution. You could remove the floppy reader from a computer, slap this in, and as far as the old computer is concerned, whenever you insert a flash drive in the front, it sees a really big floppy disk.

    This is nice because usb is more compact, widely compatible and flash media is more stable, floppy disks can become corrupted pretty quickly.
