We have a computer which, for various reasons, needs to be able to 
reliably read, write and format 360K low-density disks, 1.2MB disks,
and 720K/1.44MB 3.5" disks.

Currently, we have a PC with one standard density drive, one high
density drive, and one high-density 3.5" drive.  Those drives, plus
a new controller, have served us well.

But it's now time to upgrade to a 286, and we're trying to find a way
to keep the 360K drive (since 1.2MB drives are rotten at formatting and
writing low-density disks that are readable by low-density drives).
Does anyone know of a special controller card that we can get to let
us install the 360K drive?  Or can we just plug it in?  (Yeah, right.)

Any replies would be appreciated.  E-mail is probably better, but posting
is fine.
