  • Some suggestions for solid state alternatives as old mechanical magnetic storage has such a high failure rate. But retro whatever way you want, of course!

    You can get ide to compact flash or ide to sata adapters and get some reasonably modern solid state hard drive storage in there, if that interests you. I understand (haven’t tried personally) that compatibility can be kind of a crapshoot though.

    You can also get a gotek which has a floppy interface and can load floppy images from a USB thumbdrive. Which might be a more functional option than getting a USB floppy drive for a modern machine.

    TL;DR: Probably.

    Some facts

    • I did, in fact, come across a recipe shortly before I saw this post that called for four cloves of garlic. A dish I’ve since made, and blatantly disregarded the quantity of garlic.
    • I found the recipe on a search engine. I have it set to “all regions” but anecdotal evidence suggests it prioritizes my region.
    • I live in a country with majorily Caucasian people, of which I match the majority.
    • In skimming over my reply I noted I was being vague about the search engine and nationality, which seems silly. DDG and Conflicted States of America.
