I still use them from time to time if I need to into dos and use fdisk to trash the Master boot record. Or redoing a hard drive and format it with a simple dos partition. The highest on a PC side is 1.44 Megabytes. But depending on the machine itself the drive specifically they did go up to 2.88 megabytes. I have two next stations that has such a floppy drive in each of them.
