Greetings,

Unlike 3.5 inch diskettes, where there are USB drives available, there is
no such thing for 5 1/4 ones.

I have some 5-1/4 diskettes which have data that I never bothered to
transfer to newer types of media. So, I'm looking for recommendations in
this regard:
  - buy a 5-1/4 interal drive on eBay and try to make it work in Linux?

You need a controller. http://www.deviceside.com/fc5025.html has a read-only
controller with USB interface.  


 
  - find a service that will transfer the data at a cost?

Thanks in advance,
