Yes. In museums. That said, I have a working external 5.25" floppy drive I backended into a USB interface with a soldering iron, some ingenuity, and breadboarding skillz from the 70s — if I can find the bloody power cable...
Not to mention the collection of five-pin DIN-connector spare keyboards.

I have a ton of those 4 pin Molex 'Y', a couple of 5 pin, ps2 keyboards . I did get rid of the 360K and 1.2M 5.25 floppies .
find an old AT class PSU and cut the cables off, but I think Amazon has adapters (for either way )
