I would suggest inquiring in the comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware newsgroup.

I fairly regularly see discussions about using regular floppy drives 
with adapter cables in PS/2s.

I /think/ the IDE signaling is electrically compatible with PC floppy 
drives.  The main difference is the form factor and the fact that power 
goes over the PS/2 cabling / back plane connector.

If nothing else, you'll likely get three or four "I have a spare I'll 
sell for a reasonable price" type responses.
