5.25" floppy drive to IDE to USB?
Is it possible to get a vintage 5.25" PC floppy drive connected to a modern PC with no floppy controller and just USB/FireWire inputs? Do IDE 5.25" floppy drives exist? If so, I could drop one into a USB enclosure. Is there an adapter that would let me connect a floppy drive to an IDE interface? My specific machine is a Macintosh so I'm certain there are additional BIOS issues, but I figure, as long as I am able to get the drive mounted via USB, I could run Windows or just virtualize DOS in order to see the drive properly. Any ideas? Anthony K.
