I thought it would be interesting to answer the question ...

floppy controller? I would hope so, but ...)

It would appear that a few of the Asrock "Fatal1ty" P67 motherboards
have floppy connectors:

The Fatal1ty P67 Performance, Fatal1ty P67 Professional and P67
Extreme. They all support floppy drives - and the first 2 support IDE
drives. They also all have PS/2 style mouse and keyboard connectors.

They support 3'rd and 2'nd Generation Intel Core i7 / i5 / i3 / Xeon /
Pentium / Celeron in LGA1155 Package.

Some of those boards were sold by Newegg as recently as December 2013.

There is one seller on ebay that is selling the Fatal1ty P67 Performance
motherboard - in the Netherlands. He apparently has 6 available, sold
4. Price is 40 euros. There are a couple of Fatal1ty P67 Professional
for sale - again in Europe, but for a ridiculous amount (over $200 USD).

The Asrock P67 Pro3 also has a floppy connector:

I'm thinking that maybe quite a few LGA1155 motherboards with the P67
chipset might have floppy connectors, even boards made by companies
other than Asrock.

And then there's the Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3:

Also has a floppy connector - and no IDE.

What's clear is that if given the choice to add a floppy drive or IDE
(PATA) hard drive to new(er) boards, it seems the floppy drive wins.
