controller that wan't specifically designed to handle the 3.5" disk drive, you may want to try replacing it with a Western Digital Fox controller. I have a 3.5" and 5.25" drive set(1.44Mb and 360K) in a clone and am using the Jameco floppy controller card. I recommend the fox though, since the Jameco has the annoying problem of not formatting 360K or 720K disks when the PC is in 8 Mhz mode. I have to put it into 5 Mhz mode to format the disks. Brent H.
