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?
Not necessarily that old, depending on your definition of "old". New PCs and motherboards at least as recently as 2009 were still shipping
with ISA bus floppy controllers. Examples: I tend to think "old" once they're less than SFr100 on ebay/ricardo.

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 :-)
ROTFL, same for my server/workstation. So, NVIDIA card out, CD/DVD device out and I could have a floppy drive. Sorry to say so, but I see absolutely no reason to return to such media. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
