Dragon Floppies

Has anyone tried to connect an external 5.25" USB floppy drive to a PC to backup old Dragon disks with VCOPY.EXE ? Alternatively, I have a dual floppy disk station from Dragon Data 1984 with a 34-pin connector at the back. Has anyone tried to make a USB connection for this drive? I have about 200 ol...
