Title: It&#x27;s easy to buy a 3.5in USB floppy drive for $10 online. In contrast, I&#x27;ve seen 5in USB floppy drives, but they&#x27;re not common. For example, this is a USB controller for $50 - you have to hook up your own drive and provide a housing.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.deviceside.com&#x2F;fc5025.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.deviceside.com&#x2F;fc5025.html</a><p>It&#x27;s unsurprising there&#x27;s less demand for them than 3.5in drives, but it seems like the difference in demand alone can&#x27;t explain this gap. Is there some technical issue that makes manufacturing drives like this difficult? Or am I missing some other part of the picture?
