The latest Radio Shack flyer has a external 3.5" 720K disk drive selling
for $99.95 (regular price is $279.95) for their 1000 EX PC.  Has anyone
tried to stick one of these Radio Shack drives on an old-style IBM PC
floppy disk drive controller?  Those old controllers had a 34-pin D-shell
connector sticking out the back for external drives.
