Hello,


Has anyone been successful in getting Win 10 to recognize and us this type of cable. If so what drivers worked and were there any tricks? Thanks!

Subject: [Ham-Computers] Question about 5.25" drives.

I've recently acquired four new-old-stock 3.5" floppy drives intended 
for laptops, but so far, they work with all computers with a USB port as 
an external "floppy" drive.

What I'm looking for, since I've had to upgrade from a computer that had 
an internal 5.25" drive, is an EXTERNAL 5.25" drive with USB 
connectivity.  Were these ever available, or did the technologies not 
overlap?  Anything out there that works, perhaps a case that I can put 
my 5.25" floppy drive into, then connect it to my laptop?  I don't mind 
putting something together if I can find a nice high-quality case that 
will take an IDE floppy drive and convert to USB.

Ideas?

Kurt

You will have to home brew something those Technology?s never overlapped
