HOWTO: USB 5.25" Floppy
-
I note that one can get any number of different models of a 3.5" floppy drive which can plug into a USB port for under $15 on Amazon. I'd like to do that with a 5.25" floppy. I've got the drive. I just need to know how to attach it to a USB plug. Researching the 3.5" models on Amazon, I found the kit version: USB to a circuit board with a 34-pin floppy drive connector, for one to attach his own 3.5" floppy drive, so I think we're close here. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Given the age of the 5.25 floppy drive, I doubt you'll find anything made for it. Let us know if you do, however!
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Now you made me feel old. I still remember when 5 1/4 was the new hype.
