This may or may not have been mentioned before but...
 
Just because there is no floppy drive port does not mean that one cannot add   
a second floppy drive.  A quick look in one of my mail-order catalogs reveals
that at least one manufacturer builds a SCSI-floppy (PLI, if you care).  I 
agree with the previous post -- diminishing returns.  How many macs have you
seen with an external floppy?  I have friends with perfectly good 800K externals
that are sitting on shelves because they are not used.  If you really need a
second floppy on the LC, plug it into the SCSI.  We are going to need the room
on the rear panel for all of those ethernet ports soon :-).
 
Note that if you are out of SCSI addresses, you probably needed more than LC
in the first place.

Just my opinion though.
