I don’t think that is possible. Other than the floppy disk drive, if the machine’s computer is in working order I would suggest upgrading the dead FDD to a USB reader- http://plrelectronics.com/xcart/Floppy-to-USB-Upgrade-PLR1075.html
By far the easiest and best option IMHO and besides USB flash drives are far more stable and reliable and efficient than ye olde floppy is in the enviroment you are working in. You will also not have to waste your time with compatibility issues in the longer term.
