@digitalkrampus Modern PC floppy controllers still speak 5.25", and as recently as Windows XP they were natively supported (AFAIK Linux and the BSDs still fully natively support them). My last Windows machine had one that mounted directly into DOSBox for maximum retro realism.

@digitalkrampus Depends on what is on them. Most major OSs still has support for floppies, so if your PC has a floppy drives and you have a floppy controller, that'll work for PC disks. More steps required for Apple, Amiga, Commodore, and whatever else.
