RE: Help with reading an old 5.25" DOS-formatted Disk

It looks like this would be an easy DIY project.

Here's a USB to 5.25" floppy controller for $55.25USD:

FC5025 USB 5.25" Floppy Controller

5.25" floppy drives are readily available on eBay for $20-$40. You'd also need a power supply for the floppy drive.

Oh, and you could always house your DIY USB 5.25 floppy drive in a nice cigar box. ;-)

Ceci n'est pas une signature.
