5.25" floppies used, at least if I recall correctly, the same protocols and connections that the 3.5" floppies later used. So if you can find a modern computer with a 3.5 floppy (a lot of dells still have them) get that, open it up, disconnect the 3.5" drive cable and go get yourself a 5.25" drive from a old computer store or ebay. Hook it up sitting outside the computer, boot the computer, and see if it will recognize the drive.
Some newer motherboards might not recognize it, but there are tons of older generation (think pentium 3, Windows 98) computers at a yard sale near you that would support one of those drives.
