Can anyone enlighten me as to whether or not a standard PC/XT
compatible floppy disk controller is capable of interfacing with
a 720k 3.5" drive?  If the answer is yes, could you then interface
a 1.44MB drive to the same controller, using it as a 720k drive?

E-mail responses are fine, I'll summarize if there's enough
interest.

Thanks,

Jim
