Hi

I have a e inch floppy disk drive from one Amstrad CPC 6128.
It's working fine.

Is there any chance to connect it directly to my PC through a
cable or some kind of controller?

Thank you
 
Not so sure!
- What do you mean it's working fine?
Those 3" discs were an "Amstrad Funny" - even if you can power it up I doubt a PC will read it, almost certain to be a funny format. Isn't the data rather old? Probably not worth huge effort unless you need an old contract, etc. Do you have access to one of those Amstrads? A local Computer-Group may know someone with one......at least you could see what data is there...and maybe print it out (they were not large capacity I recall.).......but finding a suitable printer....

The drive cases I've seen up to recently were for 3.5" floppy drives and these are rare nowadays....I think you might find a USB adaptor whci will take the data (if the connector is the same?) and then find a suitable DC power plug.
