Hello Pat.

A simple job, ~IF~ you can find the requisite cable.  A 5.25 inch drive has an double-sided edge connector with a divider rather
than pins like a 3.5 FDD or an HDD.  
They are not rare  -  I must have 50 in the workshop!  It is just that they are not marketed actively these days.
For obvious reasons.
