The floppy disk was well intended, but its usefulness is now gone. Now, over 30 years later, the floppy disk needs to go for good.

Probably best to leave a bootable DOS partition on your harddrive so that old bios code can be written and read from this partition.
Right now for many going without a floppy is impossible. Bios flashers use DOS and DOS doesn't natively support CD burning or USB so if you don't have a FAT HDD partition or a floppy you are in for a difficult time.
