A friend of mine had an extra 3 1/2" drive (720k) that he had taken out of
his computer (to replace with a HD drive).  He offered it to me; I took it.

So I have just a 3 1/2" drive, no cable, no information.  Do I need a special
controller for such a drive? Will either my floppy or hard drive
controller cards
work with it? How do I find these things out?

Thanks for any ideas.
