Still have a 5.25-inch (dual-sided! high density!) operational floppy drive in one of my workstations, in case I ever want to load up my copy of Windows 1.0 (the one where the windows could only be tiled, not overlapped). Or SCO Xenix 386. Another one in the garage, too, I think. Looks like at lot of this old stuff is still available at EBay if you look.
