I have a Zenith Z241 AT compatible with the regular two-floppy
two-hard disk controller, a 1.2MB floppy, and a 360K floppy
(plus 2 hard drives).  I would VERY MUCH like to add a 3.5"
1.44 MB floppy to this setup (in an external cabinet of some kind).
The problem: what to do for floppy controller?  The local Zenith
store thinks that there have been problems with adding a second
controller, but they aren't sure.  Are there controllers which
can handle >= 1 floppy without interfering with the primary 
controller?  (Or some other method that yields a working third
drive as far as DOS is concerned)

I'd just like to keep both existing drives.  A setup which uses
a separate device driver for the third floppy is OK.  I can make
the 3.5" drive one of the 2 primary drives (I upgraded the ROMs
to handle 1.44 MB 3.5" drives, and I have Zenith MS-DOS 3.3), so
all I would need is a way to support a third (360K) floppy.
Any help appreciated.  Please use email; I will post a summary if
there is interest.

advTHANKSance,
Alan
