Greetings all.

Is there an IDE adapter that will support 4 floppies?  I need to put a 360K
disk on my system with 2 floppies there already.

This would leave me with a 4th connector free so I need to know if
there is a manufacturer of QIC format tape drives preferably 80/160MB that
will interface through the floppy controler instead of a proprietary card.

Oops, I'd like the names of any applicable manufacturers and device names
or models.

Also... If a system is using 70ns rams currently, would 60ns speed anything
up?  I've seen this question before but no anwers....

Thanx in advance...
