There are lots of different adaptors to use with 3.5" drives so you can
mount them in a 5.25" bay.  You should be able to find one around $5.
However, are you sure that your computer does not use a standard floppy
drive?  I have a similar set up in my computer case - the small slot for
the diskette and a button on the outside of the case.  It accepts a
standard floppy drive with faceplate and the standard eject button.  The
faceplate fits right up against the inside of the case and the eject
button on the case works the standard eject button on the drive.  If you
have not, you might want to remove the drive and see if it really is a
non-standard drive.
