Kevin,

   I still have a 5.25" floppy drive on my desktop at home.  Odds are it will not survive my next computer upgrade.  If you are in the Toronto area, I might be able to help.

   Check old surplus and second hand stores.  You might find something.

   I still have a punched tape from a CNC course I took in college.  :)
