GreaseWeazle is great (I own one!), but it's far from "the only way today".
Not that long ago, motherboards still had a floppy controller. These computers do mostly still work.
So do the ones from the 80s, for that matter.
>USB 3.5" floppy drives
To anybody considering: Don't bother. They can only read/write the most standard IBM PC format. No flux streams.
Instead, get any old floppy drive and a greaseweazle at about the same cost. You'll be able to read and write all sorts of formats, and recover data from damaged and otherwise unreadable floppies.
