: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):
:
:Scientific Micro Systems, INC
:339 N. Bernardo Ave
:PO Box 7777
:Mountain View, CA 94039
:(415)964-5700

	And if you can't find one from them, I have a couple of used OMTI
5400 cards... The 5400 lets you hook four LUNs as any combination of ST-506
hard disk (2max), QIC-02 tape (1max) or floppy (4max). The design is old
enough to for the SCSI implementation to be a bit less than fully there,
but at least they do work. :-) $50 each, if you're interested...
