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?

You best invest in the mentioned solutions. Mine would work, but would require tenacity. You'd be mucking with transmission rates.
It can be done, but never worth the money.

The other solutions are more practical, but you're welcome

so you're copying the 5.25" to a USB or other more modern storage device?

Yeah, finding truly unscented bags is difficult. We don't order them from online.

Yeah. I might end up getting replacements at retail, on closer inspection in addition to being significantly larger (90/120 vs 60ish); it looks like the listings on Amazon showing unscented bags all have the "package may vary" text.  Fortunately I didn't actually submit a new order before noticing.
I started ordering them, along with most non-perishable items online a few years ago after my local store did a re-layout that appears to've been done to make finding things harder in the hope that by forcing people to wander around longer they'd make more impulse sales[1]. Jokes on them though, not only did I reduce the amount of stuff I buy there to keep my time spent the same; but whenever I'm on a "WT![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) did they hide X" snipe hunt I not only keep walking past anything that would otherwise have been a potential impulse buy; but add it to the list of things I'll never buy from them.
[1] It's either that, or they got blackout drunk and moved stuff around by throwing darts at a map of the store. I doubt this though, it was too systematically awful to be random.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

s updated the existing product listing to include "(Package May Vary)" and then switched out for the Febreeze version. They still list the non-scented bags in larger counts/box for a lower price/box than the stinking ones they stuck me with. 🤔🤔
