Is there such a thing as an adapter to mount a powerbook floppy drive with flat ribbon connector on a Mac desktop with 20 pin connector? I haven't been able to find one on my travels yet.

Are you asking about an internal PowerBook floppy or the external HDI-20 floppy? External HDI-20 floppies are really plentiful because they were used on Duos, and it would be easier to adapt.
This is the pinout of the 20-pin connector.
And here is the pinout of the HDI-20 floppy.
You could make an adapter it seems, but might need a resistor for that 12v to 5v | | 1 |
