If you could find old 5 1/4 disk drive then the disk will be unreadable. I had some 100 3 1/2 disks and 3 1/2 drive. The disk were from old 286 and 486 machines. About 80% dead, unreadable or tried to format them to reused, again no go. I end up pinching all disks. I have not see a 5 1/4 drive for ages. I had couple drives, I trash them or give to person to use. Today's motherboards don't support any floppies.
