Would anyone know if the FD Controllers found 
in standard HD/FD controller cards can be setup as
a secondary FD Controller  ?  i.e. to connect a third
floppy device ( or tape drive ) and a hard disk.

I have a 386 AT with the FD controller on the motherboard,
controlling 2 Floppy Devices. I have a 40M tape back up
and was wondering if it can be connected as a third Floppy
Device to the FD ports of the HD/FD controller (to be
purchased soon, a 1:1 interleaved MFM HD/FD ST-506 compatible WD 
controller).

Any help will be appreciated.
