Floppy interface never did go IDE, not complicated enough.

How about LS-120 type drives? They are IDE and read/write 1.44 Mb
floppies.

They may read them, but i doubt it; physical media encapsulation issues.

The LS120 media was the same shape as regular floppies and the drives would
read ordinary floppies at an accelerated rate. I never tried to write a
floppy in one.

Do you remember "stringy floppies"?

wafadrive, microdrive?
