I've yet to see a floppy drive that used 220/330 ohm terminators. Every
one I've worked on just has a 150 ohm resistor to the +5V line. It'll
still draw the current if that line is pulled low, though.

Hi
Still, he isn't going to get his 5 volts from the 24 volt
supply.
Why not? IIRC there's enough power to supply both rails. A reasnable
step-down switching regulator circuit would have enough efficiency to
supply 5V at 1A and only draw, say, 1/4A from the 24V supply. You can't
use a linear regulator, though.
