There is also the SMSC USB97CFDC2  floppy usb controller.   Al has the
datasheet archived on bitsavers:

What more could you ask for--legacy floppy interface, external flash
programming...

I'm a bit surprised that nobody's come up with a design using this
creature.  Of course, there's the possibility that they're unobtainium...

I'm game to try.  I see them nominally listed for sale, so I asked for a quote for 10.  We'll see if they are really available or not.
