transferring bbc micro adfs/dfs 5.25" disks to pc.

transferring bbc micro adfs/dfs 5.25" disks to pc. and being able to read
them. I am familiar with using a beeb emulator but unsure of how to transfer
and read the data. instead of getting hold of a bbc micro.

is there a 5.25" disk drive available for the pc, and will it read these
types of disks.

thanks in advance

Was the first hit in my search, and looks like a good one.
If you don't already have one, getting an obsolete 5 1/4" drive may be
the hardest thing, and you could be unlucky with the PC disk
controller, if it can't handle SD format.
