I don't WANT to update a BIOS using a OS. Maybe I am a bit old fashioned,
but that's the way it is.

Then why did you ask "how do you update a BIOS"?

If you specifically don't want to use alternatives to using a floppy drive,
then you're stuck using a floppy drive. Duh. It's a self-fulfilling
prophecy.

But that in no way is relevant to the question of whether a floppy drive is
necessary (except in the degenerate case of when you specifically *want* a
floppy drive).
