Try old deskpros of '386 era. This uses 3.5" toshiba or one other
brand w/ this 26pin interface attached to 34pin adapter or direct to
motherboard. Change the eject button and bezel from dud peecee
toshiba floppy drives to fit into HP. Toshiba also use same in
their luggable laptops like 5200 for example.
