You can use 5.25" drives in modern pcs as long as they have a floppy connector. My dell optiplex 320 has a floppy connector on it. I have used them under xp. I will see if it works with another os today. Seriously.

It depends on the motherboard
Some motherboards support them.
Dell, unfortunately,mdoes not. However, this does: http://www.deviceside.com/fc5025.html This will let you read those disks on windows. |

The lesson is make copies of the files you care about when switching to a new computer. Duh. Two or three computers ago I had one that had both a slot for floppies and a CD rom drive. Should have converted those floppies then. Oh well.
