I have to apologize to you all, I wasn't specific enough.  The 
discussion has been a great read though. :)

I've got a PC with a limited space case.  They didn't even include room 
for a 3-1/2" floppy drive in it.  I'd like to be able to read DOS and 
non-native format floppy disks with this machine as part of doing an 
update to the retroarchive.org site.  Instead of building a second 
machine, I'd like to be able to find a way to interface a Teac FD-55GFR 
via USB.

Barring that, I'd like to know where I can find a desktop ATX form 
factor case that's got bays deep enough for a standard sized floppy drive.

Thanks all!
