I had to reverse-engineer a floppy disk encryption scheme that was performed by some DOS software that directly talked to the IDE floppy controller. There's no emulating that. A USB floppy drive can't even be operated in the same way.

It was easier to just crack the (admittedly trivial) encryption.
