5-1/4 diskettes

[Max Pyziur]

Greetings,

Unlike 3.5 inch diskettes, where there are USB drives available, there is 
no such thing for 5 1/4 ones.

I have some 5-1/4 diskettes which have data that I never bothered to 
transfer to newer types of media. So, I'm looking for recommendations in 
this regard:
  - buy a 5-1/4 interal drive on eBay and try to make it work in Linux?
  - find a service that will transfer the data at a cost?

Thanks in advance,

Max Pyziur
