OK. I have some old 5 inch floppy discs I used to play on our Apple II plus. I was wondering if there are any floppy disc drives that connect to a pc by USB. It has to be 5 inch discs not 3.5. Thanks.

No, but most computer still support floppy connections, so you could get hold of an old 5.25" drive and plug it into the floppy header on the motherboard and copy your data to the hard drive or whatever. There are no USB 5.25" floppy drives.

Even if you could find one it might not be able to read Apple discs. Apple and IBM used different methods of recording data. A PC with a built-in floppy drive would need a special controller. If you search on line you might be able to download the games and play them in an emulator.
