- Need a 5.25' Floppy in Windows XP?
www.deviceside.com - "USB floppy
drives are widely available, but those currently on the market only
support 3.5" disks. The new interface, due to be released later this
year, connects to 5.25" drives. It will also allow the owners of modern
computers to read a variety of old disk formats that ordinary floppy
controllers no longer support.
The final product will read many disk formats, but the prototype only
reads Apple II disks, so please leave your IBM or CP/M floppies at home
for now. The product will be available in 2007."
