Some, but not all. Like I said, the NEW Gateways and eMachines do not (at least the ones I've seen). Oh, and try to buy a new Dell with a floppy, they charge you $50 for an external USB drive because they dont want them to even be installed in their cases.

Edit: I just looekd at new Gateway specs and I guess the external floppy thing isn't a Dell specific problem. I just guess that floppies are finally being phased out.
