Are you referring to an external USB floppy drive? If so, most online computer stores should have them for varying prices. Here's one from NewEgg:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827711009

The only other thing I could think that you mean is a way to put USB ports in the location of your floppy drive. Here's something like that (USB and Firewire) from NewEgg:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815104225

If that's not what you're looking for, please try to clarify your needs.

They don't make them in new machines anymore. They just saturate everything with USB ports.
