The controller and assorted hardware needed to set up a Tandy compatible
drive can be scrounged from a low cost drive (like the 5meg) and used for
BIGGER purposes.  I have changed several drives around and had few problems.
If you want the "latest" in controllers, buy them from national parts and
mount them in whatever you like.  Besure to scrounge all of the hardware you
can before you order.  Also, get friendly with the local RSCC or repair,
they can let you have all kinds of "disco" stuff for reasonable money.

If anyone is intrested in a trade, I have not been able to find good, fast,
large bubbles (35+meg drives) for reasonable money.  If anyone has a resource
and needs the other half, I think we can make a deal.
