Well you can go that way, or on the Floppy card you will notice that there are holes for soldering a 23-pin D-Sub connector; you would then use a male-female 23-pin extension cable to take it to the back where there are punch-out holes in that size (you may have to remove the SCSI terminator from the I/O back card, but that is simple).  This will give you the power supply to a normal external floppy.

Well...

As you are against soldering and attaching cables, you can use a Catweasel device off the IDE port to add two more Amiga floppies is DD and HD. that can be addresses as DF2 & DF3.

Or ask AmigaKit or someone to make you one; SACC should have tons of people to make one.  Heck, I probably have the crap here at home to crank one out, at least a 23-pin male D-sub and 34-pin cable (not sure of the port header).

Sorry, made a mistake; that would be a female 23-pin D-sub, but I just used my last one to make a cable for Amiga to 8-pin mini Framemeister for a direct connection.

You can pick up the 23-pin D-sub on eBay and Amibay.
