I don't know if you have access to a PC or not, but it might be simpler to get one and a 5.25" disk drive for it (BTW they use the same interface as a 1.44mb 3.5" drive) and transfer it to a 3.5" or CD-R

Pose this issue on Vintage Macs (I'd be glad to do it for you if you aren't subscribed there). Apple offered a 5-1/4 floppy drive and nu bus card that was supported on Mac II's under OS 6 at least.
