My MSI motherboards have LAN and PXE boot, but I don't think the LAN is legacy.

You could possibly try USB-FDD or USB-ZIP, but these might have different disk formats.

I remember seeing something in (I believe it was Syslinux) about formatting/partitioning a USB stick to make it look like an Iomega Zip drive.

Does anybody still make floppy disks, or USB floppy drives?  Modern motherboards have no floppy headers.

I browsed iomega.com and got a domain-parking site (Iomega is no longer there).

My experience with Gigabyte is less than favorable.

Does CDROM on your boot options include DVD?
