True.  I have one.  It's a no-name brand I got at a show.  I know that
DTK makes one which is also pretty good.

Not always.  Some controllers (like mine) have their own BIOS chips
with the driver software on-board.  These need no installable drivers.
My third floppy is drive C:.  My hard drive is E:.  (D: is unused - the
card reserves space for 4 floppies even if you only use one or two.)
