Hi,

Thank you for your replies. Asrock is the only motherboard manufacturer that still uses in some models legacy I/O support.
The most modern motherboards I found are:

Intel: Z77 Extreme6
AMD: 990FX Extreme4

The problem is that Asrock has many motherboards models and you easily get lost. It doesn't have a good compare tool based on specs.

Anyway...There is no PCI/PCIe FDD controller and USB FDD have less features....so at the end it seems you need a special FDD controller (like a Catweasel)...thing I would like to avoid but it seems not possible. :(

Sadly Parsec is right, legacy support for floppy drives ceased a long time ago, even looking through the workstation and server boards by ASRock which often have more legacy features yielded nothing newer than Parsec posted. I assume you are looking for a floppy drive to read old floppies? 

If so then I would look into something like this from Amazon.

I hope this helps

Newer ASRock boards with a floppy controller... Shocked

I searched backwards in time by Intel chipset until I finally found a board that had a floppy controller. That was a G31M-S board from 2008, no doubt long out of production.

http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/G31M-S/

My advice would be to try to find a separate floppy controller add on board, for a PCIe x1 slot or more likely a PCI slot.

I'm sorry but you just won't find a floppy controller chip on a current board that has M.2 slots for PCIe SSDs, and supports NVMe.

Hi,

What are the most newer Asrock motherboards that still have the floppy controller?

Thank you
