Floppy to FPGA?

[fslearner]

I'm currently working with an old imaging device whose only output is a
floppy drive which only allows transferring 6 images at a time (due to
floppy disk size constraint). I had the idea of implementing an FDC
(floppy drive controller) on an fpga then connecting the drive cable to
the fpga and using the fpga to stream the images through a serial port
thus bypassing the disk size constraint. Can anybody comment on the
feasibility of this project and perhaps point me to some existing VHDL
code? Otherwise, does anyone have any other feasible ideas?

Thanks.
