External enclosure for 5-1/4 drive...

8 Apr 2006

...
   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. 
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.
