TEAC makes a 2.88M/1.44M/720K SCSI floppy disk (FD-235JS-401) that I have 
purchased and use on an embedded system.  The SCSI controller is already
mounted on the drive.  It comes with a good manual to describe all of its
characteristics (timing diagrams, jumper positions, etc).  It hasn't
given me any problems.  However; if you don't have $400 or already have a
floppy then consider an OMTI SCSI controller/interface board that handles
5-1/4, 3-1/2, and 8 inch disk drives.  Here's the address for the OMTI 
controllers (they might be out of business):
