Hey, does anyone know of a card reader (preferrebly one that fits in 5.25 drive) that has multiple features as a card reader and reads floppy drives?
I've checked multiple on froogle and google but only found the mitsumi 7in1..
Thanks for the help guys

YE Data also makes a combo floppy drive/flash card reader which I prefer to the Mitsumi. Provantage.com is one of the few places I've found that carries it. You can mount it in a 5" adapter bracket and build front ports etc into the bracket if you want. Antec used to sell a 5" adapter bracket with USB ports already built in, but I haven't seen one in a while. I know CompUSA used to carry it.
You could use cables from frontx.com to mod the bracket. Silverstone sells relatively fancy floppy adapter brackets with Aluminum front panels in black and silver. But I haven't seen a price on them.

mitsumi has a 7 in 1 multi card reader with a floppy. comes in both black and being... too bad its 3.25 as well 🙁
 
The Adapted floppy/flash card reader is the YE Data unit (you can read the model no. on the label if you click on the 'enlarge' link - I guess Adaptec is repacking it... I wonder how much they are selling it for? Provantage is selling the YE Data for about $40. shipped in a full retail kit.
. Well, Provantage carries both: the YE kit is 40.73 and the adaptec repack is 41.75 both are shipped prices to me in upstate NY.

What would be nice on these card readers, they should make a USB port on it since it takes up a USB port on your motherboard. Maybe even add firewire. That would be the ultimate combo drive and would make floppy drivers worth buying again.
 
You guys remember that there are mounting frames that let you mount a 3.5" drive in a 5.25" bay? For like $0.50?
 
I did see a 13 in 1, sorry - can't remember who sold it.
The reviews on it were bad though = on one, XD wouldn't work, on another, CFII was flaky etc etc.
More there is, more can go wrong
