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.
