Floppy drives connect to the PC via ATA. I don't have that connector in my computer

Do you mean IDE? I'm confident your PC has S-ATA.

There's IDE to SATA cards available for eight bucks.

It was standardized as ATA, some people calling it PATA or IDE to distinguish it from the newer SATA standard

But I remembered wrong, it was a similar IDC connector for the floppies with a different amount of pins

There's always some a usb-converter for 10$ around.
