Many of the boards we are using will be supporting usb floppies soon, so we can
have one at the lab for upgrades.

Just a note in passing. I have found that some computer and motherboard
manufacturers only provide bios and firmware updates as floppy disk images.
There are ways around this issue and not that to many non-technical people
are updating their firmware or bios . I agree with Rick that floppies are
seldom used anymore, their capacities are too small, they are unreliable and
they cost more per meg than usb pen drives. I still think we should still
retain and support floppies for a while yet as long as we have them.
