I put a 5 and a quarter inch floppy drive into my p4 Dell. I did it so that I could get all of my old games (Kings Quest, Space Quest, etc) off of the floppies.
I was just glad I was able to find the ribbon cable with the correct connector (cuz it's different from the standard IDE n-pin connector used now). I was surprised Windows XP recognized it too. And it just looks better than an empty slot in the tower.
It sounds like the professor doesn't care enough to take some sort of (disciplinary) action on the student. Being a TA and not being the one who ultimately determines if the student passes or fails, one can only do so much. So it sounds like it's really the professor's fault for not taking action when you've clearly made it obvious that this is happening.
