Thanks to the dozens who responded to my query for whether 360K drives 
work in a 286.  Apparently, they do.  The only problem, as one writer 
noted, would be that some combined HD/FD controllers can handle a 
maximum of two floppies, and we wanted to run three.  In that case, 
I assume we'd have to just use ours to drive the HD and buy a cheapo
floppy controller for the three floppy drives.

Again, thanks, everyone!  You know, somewhere out there, someone just
bought a 286 and is pulling her or his hair out, wondering what to do
with the 360K drive.  :-)
