The FDD controller is also known as the super i/o controller. This controls the FDD, serial port, and the parallel port. I doubt a USB FDD will work since I think it still needs an FDC, but I haven't tried it so I can't be sure.
Typically when the FDC fails, the motherboard needs to be replaced. The super I/O chip is a surface mounted chip and cannot be removed and replaced easily. This type of repair usually needs an SMT line.
