HUH? Neither of these are an helped/hindered by the 386. SCSI is not
needed to run 1.44/1.2 FDDs. You can put scsi in there even when it was
an plain xt. To run the bigger floppies you need a controller that will,
most XT controllers will not. JDR and JAMCO sell a board that will do up
to 2.88 drives in a XT slot.
FYI I've hacked the leading edge (xt) I have to include most of what you
mention including a 20meg WD hardcard. It's MONO/herc, 20meg hardcard,
1.44 floppy, multi-IO (two serial, two LPT, game). Runs dos6.22
and I've had windows3.1 to prove it runs.

The idea behind the SCSI card is to run larger fdds internally and also a
EZ135 ext. that I use now on several different platforms (Atarias , Mac, PC,
etc.) as needed . I could also chain other peripherals.
