Does anyone have any knee jerk reaction to the idea of putting a 5¼" 
floppy drive on a USB-to-Floppy (nominally 3½") adapter?

Do I want to avoid tilting at this windmill?

Am I better off installing the 5¼" floppy inside the computer and 
connecting directly to the motherboard?

I'm only wanting to pull files off of 5¼" disks.  At most I'll want to 
dd the disks to an image.

That being said, I wonder if I should also be collecting any different 
types of images.  (This may mean mobo instead of USB.)

Thank you for any pro-tips that you can provide.
