Oh yes, I was using a 3.5" floppy disk drive with a USB connector in 2007 to kick off imaging on desktop machines as no one could get the ghost boot server working.
I can’t remember specifically, I think it might have just been that the ghost image on the floppy was confirmed to work, and all the desktops were allowed to boot from floppy already and not necessarily via USB.
This used to be IT in the early 2000s
Beige as far as the eye could see (in a data centre)
Honestly, I think it was so ugly it was beautiful.
Were we still using 3.5” floppies in the early 2000s?

Why not just use a thumb drive at that point?
