The greaseweazle still looks like a connector for an existing 5.25" drive, is there any hardware you know of that replicates the drive itself?

Why would you build a device to emulate a device that already exists, when all you need to do is communicate with it?
- branon 4y agoBecause nobody's made new 5.25" drives for decades and eventually they will all be gone? I don't want to have to buy used gear off eBay, and wouldn't need to for 3.5" disks or drives - you can actually find people producing new stock. Why doesn't 5.25" hardware get the same treatment?
