8-bit 1.44 Drive Controller (Was: Fancy Font?)

[Robert Feldman]

You can buy these new from JDR Microdevices for $28.88. You have to use this 
one as the primary disk controller, but it supports up to four 360kB, 720kB, 
1.2MB or 1.44MB floppy drives.

I have an earlier version that could be used as a secondary controller. I've 
been using it for 15 years at least. The only changes to Config.sys or 
Autoexec.bat that are needed are to point to the hard drive: it gets bumped 
up one drive letter for each floppy you add (my one 3.5" floppy is drive C: 
and the hard drive is then D:).

BTW... Anyone got an AST SixPak Plus they are willing
to part with? I built an XT for old times sake, but it
only has 256k.

I have to find one of those controller cards that will
support a 1.44mb FDD also... Maybe at the Trenton
Computer Festival next spring...
