If anyone has their heart and mind set on using their 5.25" floppy
drive and does not have a serial port available they can try a
Serial/USB converter.
<http://www.monoprice.com/>Monoprice.com has Serial/USB converters for $5.54.
Maybe (???) you'll succeed in hooking a 5.25" floppy to a USB port???
Here's the link to monoprice:
