> The only thing missing from Grigar's collection is a PC that reads five-and-a-quarter-inch floppy disks, she says. Despite their ubiquity, the machines are surprisingly hard to find. "I look on eBay, Craigslist, I have friends out looking for me, nothing. I've been looking for six years," she says. If you have one of these old computers lying around, and it still works, Grigar would love to hear from you.

I work at an ewaste recycling place. Even for us, DOS era systems are rare. I sit next to the retro guy. I'll try to remember to ask him about 5" floppy drives tomorrow.
