Question do they make such a thing

I don't know if they make such a thing, but...
I spent 3 days looking online with no luck.

I'm looking for a 3.5" floppy that fits in a 5.25" space without an adapter. I would really like to find something like mitsumi's fa404 but in 5.25" style.

http://www.mitsumi.com/products/FA404.htm

Would really like any input possible.

don't think there is such a thing. the key point being that the measurements you have noted define the type of bay the drives fit in. just get an adapter

Thanks for the replys.
I have a CM stacker 830 which has no 3.5 bays, and just wanted a clean look.
I reformat fairly often as I'm a cronic upgrader, and use the floppy for sata drivers.

Best Buy doesnt carry floppy disks anymore, but they charge $40 for an internal floppy, $60 external.

Staples Business Depot has floppy's, but only private brand, no Maxell, Memorex, etc.
