I am looking at an AT or compatible and have a question re: disk controller.

My current PC has a 3.5" micro disk attached to it. If I get an AT, I figure
I'll need the 1.2M floppy, a 360k floppy, and I would hate to loose my 3.5".
Since the AT does not provide for an extra drive connector coming out the 
back of the thing, the question is: are the hardware select lines there and
just no additional connector provided, or is it impossible? I could easily 
manufacture a cable to connect my 3.5 inch drive if the hardware support is
there, but otherwise, what are my options?


Thanks.
