You might want to include a "standard" 360K floppy drive if you plan to exchange software with non-AT class machines. The 1.2M drive cannot reliably write low-density disks; and the 360K drives can't read 1.2M disks. The 360K drives are cheap, and I'm pretty sure that your machine could support it. Software support is "free"- it's already in the BIOS. The only problem might come from the power supply, but most clones have a big enough one to support two floppies and a hard disk.
