Any Current 34-pin Floppy Drive Adapters?

GTechGeorge

So several months ago my dad and I upgraded his PC because it was running slower than normal. It's just a work PC so we got him a Pentium, LGA 1150 compatible mobo, new power supply, and case. As a joke he wanted to keep the 3.5" floppy drive reader in the front of his case. So we got him an adapter so that he could put it in a 5.25" drive bay but there's a problem. We don't have an adapter. Floppy drives used a large 34-pin ribbon cable to connect to a port on the motherboard that used to be close to his 24-pin power connector. I'm confused because optical drives normally take SATA and a power cable of some kind, be it SATA power or Molex. His floppy drive reader hooked both the 34-pin and SATA cable into the motherboard so I'm curious if he's getting power from that. I'm wondering if there's either a 34-pin to Molex (for power) or 34-pin to SATA (for data) adapter.
