I've found that the Sysgen Bridgefile external 5.25" floppy drives have
worked wonderfully for us.  They are less expensive and (MUCH smaller)
than the IBM unit 360K unit, and you also get 1,2mb capacity.  Most
important, the adapter card doesn't take up one of those precious slots
(depending on your PS/2, it fits where the B: drive would go).  Strangely
enough, it is actually more compatible than the IBM unit; the 55SX has
problems with the adapter cards for the IBM floppy drive.  The Bridgefile
also comes with the neat feature of being able to daisy-chin a Bridgetape
tape backup unit off it (save another slot!).  Great stuff.
