I recently upgraded a standard IBM PC to 3.5 inch and 5.25 inch
floppy drives (1.44M and 1.2M respectively).  To accomplish this
I purchased a new controller card from Soft Warehouse for about
$39.  The existing BIOS did not support these drives and would 
not recognize them (I tried first); but the new board supplemented
the BIOS and recognizes all four types  of PC floppy drives.
So far it works quite well.
