I haven't actually used one, but you might want to look at the 800K 3-1/2 inch
drives sold by Leading Edge (the Laser 128 people).  They use a universal disk
controller (also Leading Edge) that will drive two 5-1/4 floppies, two 3-1/2
floppies (either 400K or 800K) or one of each.  About $300 will get you the
card and one 3-1/2 drive.  ProDOS will boot from these drives, but DOS 3.3
will not, I believe.
