I have also heard that Colorado Makes a special cable that connects
to your primary floppy controller and allows the B drive and the
tape drive to share a single connection.  I have heard this works
like a charm and allows you to keep both floppies w/o buying the
extra card.  This limits you to internal only installation though.

I have not tried this myself so I don't know if it works I would
welcome a post from someone using this setup.
