HighQualityBicubic has very similar performance to Lanczos in most cases. I am not certain but I HighQualityBicubic mode might actually be from the Mitchell–Netravali [^] group. I don't think that'as documented either.

I have MS Paint, MS Paint 3D, Gimp, Paint.Net ... "out of the box", they all pixelate. All I was saying was that my PDF reader didn't. That's all.

Imagemagick (convert commandline in particular). It can do anything known to man (and probably a few more) with images in formats including ones you never heard of.

I found it after I posted. It's installed (dll's) and ready to go. Docs look excellent. Off the criticl path.

Magick looks like it will fill the bill (.NET dll)

HTC is currently working with devices (C++); I'm bit fiddling images in UWP (C#).

I bought this old 5.25inch internal floppy hard drive from eBay, but it does not have any data line with it.
what kind of data line I need to buy? I did a quick check to get this: Universal Floppy Drive Ribbon Cable...

I have a few around here somewhere...
Does your motherboard have a connector for it? My previous motherboard supported one floppy drive. My current motherboard does not.
Edit:
Interesting... the big online retailer has a listing for:
IYSHOUGONG 1.44MB 3.5" Floppy Drive Connector 34 PIN 34P to USB Cable Adapter PCB Board
It says it works only with 3.5" drives, but I wonder whether or not that's true.
I copied all my 5.25" disks to HDD the last time I had a floppy drive, so I have no immediate need at this time.
Edit:
Interestinger...
KryoFlux Personal Edition Basic
supports 3.5" and 5.25" floppy drives, also works well with selected 3" (e.g. Amstrad FDI-1) and 8" (e.g. Shugart 851; might require additional adapter) drives; other types of drives and media currently under investigation
This product may only be used for lawful purposes. (Oh, yeah, absolutely, sir.)

Except it seems not to support 5.25" drives -- as some reviewers state.

You need at least 286 PC with a serial port, a serial to USB converter, and a null-modem cable. That may or may not be cheaper than the other options given, but it will take more time and effort.
And you could have gone for the epic 8".

The 286 would be running DOS. You don't even want to go there if that name says little.
It was a time when user-friendly was not yet even invented. The drive-connectors were huge with lots of wires in a band. More of those cables survived than the motherboards who support them.

Those of us who are curious - why do you need a 5.25" drive?
