Yes they sell them at PCWorld, I got one for my laptop, plugs into usb port.
Paid £20 for mine, but there a sale on now, so mght be cheaper.

Re: floppy drive

I wonder how many of them will still work? How long is it since you used them last?
I cleared some out of the fire safe at work a few years ago. I found 2 or 3 out of maybe 200 that would not read any more.
