Yeah, thought about that.  I'm looking at the cheap route.  I've got all
the hardware except the 2nd floppy drive controller.  The best price I've
seen on the dual floppy drives is around $100.  I wanted to find out if
the other approach would work and then price the 2nd controller.  Now that
I think about it, I probably already have that in my stash o' parts.  I
might just try it out and see what happens...
