There are a few HD alien disks. But MOST of them, such as NEC APC-9801
1.2M 5.25", can be done with stock PC controller.
In any case, perhaps the most practical solution would
be to put a 360K
and 1.44M drive in the combo case and put the 1.2M drive in a case by
itself. I don't anticipate doing 1.2M terribly often, but there is a
stack of them in my pile-o-stuff that need reading.
Depending on how obscure things are gonna get, a 3.5" drive that can also
do 360 RPM, could be handy (NEC APC-9801 3.5")
