If you are going to read old floppies, find a Shugart
851 and a Adaptec
AHA-1522 ISA host adapter, and/or a PCI Catweasel if you need to image
esoteric formats.

SHUGART 801 is SINGLE sided
SHUGART 851 is DOUBLE sided.

you're reading single sided or double sided disks (I think), so there's no reason
for me searching for a double sided model. I don't think...
