Wild-hair floppy drive question

...
   If that is the
question the answer is yes.  (use one hole media aka 720k).  
    I have a few pounds of DSDD 3.5" media.

    What I think I *don't* have is a 3.5" drive that can be jumpered to ID 0.

The drive select jumper just links one of the drive select pins on the 
interface connector to the appropriate internal signal. So if your drive 
doesn't have jumpers, all you need to do is make up a cable between the 
controller and the drive that (in this case) takes drive select 0 from 
the cotnroller to whatever select pin (probably DS1) that the drive does 
respond to. And link all other signals straight-through.
