I am not the person who asked this question.  But I am curious to get
the answer.  And I have a question related to this.

My friend have a two floppy disk drivers, both for 5.25" disk.  I helped
to add a harddisk with a controller card.  It works.  Now, if he wants to
replace one of his 5.25" disk driver into a 3.5" one, does he need another
disk driver controller card for 3.5 driver?  (Someone suggested here that 
simply replacing a 5.25" drive with a 3.5" one will only give 360k capacity 
for the 3.5" drive.)

So, can we have 2 floppy disk controller cards?

Thank you in advance for giving the answers.
