I just purchased a 3.5" disk drive for cheap. No controller came with it.
The guy I bought it from said he had used it with a standard floppy controller
card but that it would only format to 180k! This is a SHUGART VENTURE SA301
drive. Does anyone have any experiance with this drive? I would not mind 
getting a controller for it if that's what I need for a reasonable sized disk
(at least 720k). It will be used in a XT clone. Thanks.
