As has been griped about in the past, I went on an all

search for a 5.25" drive married to a USB adapter. Thought I almost
had one when I saw a picture on the Teac website of what turned out to
be a USB to IDE adapter they sell. I contacted them anyway and
inquired about hacking their 3.5" USB drive. Their reply:
The other issue with a standard USB interface to floppy is that it's
usually a SCSI-type command structure. That is, the device is
treated as a relative-block-addressable device with no user control
over sector size, interleave or addressing.
