I've got an "interesting" dilemma.  I need to move a 5 1/4" floppy drive 
OUT of my system box and into an external unit.  So, I need a box with
a power supply and a set of adaptor cables of some sort.  The controller
I propose to use is an IRWIN 4100MC (as in MicroChannel).  It has a 
50 pin connector on the backplate, and their documentation claims that it
will drive an external floppy.

The floppy is a 5 1/4" half height 1.2 Mb drive.  The machine it's coming 
out of is a Tandy 5000MC, which is, for all intents and purposes (except
some physical size problems) a PS/2 Model 80 clone.

Thanks!
