Surely this depends on what the 5?" drive's interface is? I'm sure
I've seen ads for interface boxes for IDE, and probably SCSI, that
would require at most a transplant of the adapter into a 5?" case, if
the drive you want to use has the matching interface.
Exactly. I have a USB<->IDE i/f here that I use for machines
that *don't* have SCSI adapters (in which case, I just use
an external SCSI drive)
Is there a way to connect a 5-1/4 drive to a regular
PC via USB? Is
there a commercial product available?
Yes, if you work up the circuit design
yourself. I don't think
there's a commercial product out there--if there is, I'd like to know
about it.
