      No, not publicly. The last manufacturer of diskettes in Japan (Sony, I believe) shut down production several years ago.

      Conversely, there is still infrastructure In America that requires 5" floppies and Windows 3.11 installs or else some critical system will fail.

      Society at large in both countries no longer uses them.

        What kind of infrastructure is like that in the US? I worked in IT for one of the largest power companies in the country and the worst we had was win2000 in one location that was being decommissioned anyway.
