Just plug in an ISA card, duh.

Seriously though you've sent me down a rabbit hole that doesn't have a satisfactory ending (yet). Some kind of LPC to FDC adapter seems to be potentially possible on some motherboards, but haven't found any concrete evidence of someone having done that yet.

Most practical solution is to use an external USB drive, strip the casing, print a plate and wire the cable to the onboard USB header on the mobo.

This may get further research ๐Ÿ˜‚
