Probably a floppy disk hardware emulator, something that essentially plugs to the original system’s floppy disk interface, has a drive for modern removable media (USB/SD card/whatever), and buttons/displays to support disk image swapping and unmount/eject.

Those emulators could well have more processing power than the device they’re connected to. Very cool tech.
