I'll second that!  With floppy on the out nowadays... isn't
nice to know there's still a way to get that bios flash
onto the box??

Floppy:   Still Important
Serial:   Still Important
Parallel: Still Important
PS/2:     Still Important

I'd like to get my hands on the folks that have obviously
convinced the manufacturers that these things aren't
important anymore.
