Sorry to say so, but I see absolutely no reason to return to such media.

Not necessarily that old, depending on your definition of "old". New
PCs and motherboards at least as recently as 2009 were still shipping By the way I am looking for a cheap 5.25"
SCSI FDD.. they exist, but
are traded for horrific prices.. ;)
without ISA and FDC I do not know how to get my old drives working..
Buy an old PC? with ISA bus floppy controllers. Examples:
I tend to think "old" once they're less than SFr100 on ebay/ricardo.

I have the last, with 3.5" floppy, though a SFF model in which a
standard 5.25" floppy drive could not physically fit.
We have recently begun upgrading office PCs to Lenovo S10 - they also
have an FDD interface, as well as the slots for a 3.5" or 5.25" floppy
drive. Mind you, the fdd interface is blocked by the graphics card :-)
