Try a "MegaMate" external 1.44M floppy for PC/XT/AT from

MicroSolutions
132 W. Lincoln Hwy
DeKalb, IL  60115
(815) 756-3411

It handles 720K/1.4M automatically sensing which.  $349 list.
I've used 'em on both an XT and AT clones.  It has its own floppy
controller.  Doesn't work with PCTOOLS PCBACKUP because that program
doesn't know about the added floppy controller--and it wants to use
DMA.  But otherwise it's a solid unit.  I've had no problems at all.
