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?
