Old computer's abilities to for example boot from USB floppies have always been very limited (even if they could always boot very well from standard floppy drives). This is, however, never going to be a full replacement for a 'real' floppy disk drive. Putting it all together would end you up with something that behaves like a real floppy, connected over USB.

Some sort of external power supply, as the GoTek/HxC will not be willing to live from the USB power supply.Newer USB floppy drives no longer have this as I have learned from answers to this question. I don't think they're still made, so you would need to source one from eBay. An old Floppy-to-USB adapter that was used to connect 'real' floppies over USB.A GoTek or HxC that behaves like a 'real' floppy.There are, however, components on the market that should allow you to build that from scratch: I don't think anyone sells something like that in one piece.
