Let the floppy drive die ... instead a better idea would be an SD-Card reader that replaces the mechanical disk drive, and plugs directly into the Disk Drive cable :-)


Addonics SD to IDE Adapters

Addonics flash memory readers

Do these type devices exist for SCSI?

I supposed you could use one of those with a SCSI-to-IDE adapter.  Wow, wouldn't that be amazingly complex...


Searching finds the following:

Dual ports or single port IDE to SCSI adapter (68 pin)

SCSI to IDE/SATA/USB/FW Adapters

This model converts 40pin IDE to 50pin Male SCSI interface.
ACARD SCSI to IDE Adapter, Model AEC-7720U

SFF IDE to Compact Flash Adapter

The next question would be if you can format it as a bootable drive. Both devices claim to be transparent and require no drivers.
