Better yet, just put a blank plastic cover in the hole, ... and answer any
inquiries with, "What floppy drive?"

I have one in my "museum piece" 486DX using WFWG here, too.
Can't remember when I last booted it. Got it in 1991 or 92, I think.

If they won't give you the boxes why not remove a floppy and then drop the
box on the floor - perhaps even give it one of your famous flying kicks.
With luck there'll be so much else to distract them no-one will notice the
missing drive. :-)
