Seconding the IBM USB floppy drive. They work really well. Newer devices 
can only handle 1.44 MB disks, but the IBM will read 720 K disks too. 
None of them will read the weird Apple IIgs GCR floppies, though.

If you must use floppies or a device that thinks it needs them, Goteks 
are nice. They replace the floppy hardware with a USB port for a memory 
stick that can hold hundreds of floppy images.

Even my PDP8 (single board, but real Harris/Intersil HD-6120) uses a CF 
card these days … https://mltshp.com/p/1IF2N
