I Have Proven It's Possible To Create A USB 5.25 Floppy Drive.

You'll Need:
1 External (Reccomended)or External 5.25 Floppy Drive
1 Serial to USB for External Floppy or IDE to USB for Internal Floppy cables
1 Computer With A USB compatible OS (Windows XP Reccomennded)and a USB Port

1. Get The 5.25 Floppy Drive (External Reccomended)

2. Connect the appropriate cable (Serial to USB for external) (Reccomended)

3. Insert The Finished Drive Into The Computer

If you notice I put reccomends for the drives to get A good working nice looking drive. I need help on making a driver for other OSs than Windows XP (Does'nt need a driver). I suggest extracing the USB "part" from a 1.44 floppy disk driver and mixing it with the normal 5.25 driver.

Lots easier to just use an older computer that has a dual floppy controller, don't you think?

Thanks for the post.

Dunno if I want to load up Windows 1.1 though, I think I'll stay with Dos 3.2.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.
