I recently came across a rather large box of old 5 1/4 floppies and I'd really like to see what's on them. I have a brand new, still in the box, high density 5 1/4 drive. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to mount it in, since every thing is too new for the BIOS to recognize it.
Does anyone know if a USB adapter cable exists for 5 1/4 inch floppy drives? And where I might acquire one?
I have a couple of IDE and SATA USB adapter cables - does anyone make an IDE (drive connector) to floppy adapter? And again, where I might acquire one?
Thanks anyway....

Hope something there helps
Depending on the 5.25" drive it may require 12V or newer models may work with 5V, I believe.
Both rather pricy. 90 Euros? And are just the beginning, neither seems to come with a power supply for the drive.
Should be able to be powered from the PC PSU ..... but yes rather pricey
