Silly question: tried eBay?

could be a hard one to get them new, try sending a note to IBM they may be able to help you out

I've got an OLD PC sheltered in a cupboard just in case of moments like this. It's got a 5.25" drive as well as an ISA 10Mbit network card. Thinking on it, I could just rip out the drive and slave it into a PC here if I had to read old disks.

/me suffers that blond moment as well.
