I am looking for good 1.44MB 3.5" floppy disk drive that has the floppy interface (not USB). Of course I wish not to pay a lot. I am in the USA.

eBay.com has a few under $10.

1.44MB floppy disk drives are still being sold, brand new. You should be able to pick up a new Sony drive for about $15-20.

Actually, I withdraw my previous comment. Sony stopped making those drives about 12 years ago. Whatever was left in stock has probably disappeared by now. eBay is probably the only place you'll get decent quality drives these days.
