If your PC has a USB port, then just use USB drives. It should work -- for
example on my "daily driver" PC, I have a four-in-one card gadget. I can't
think of why the PC would care whether the drives are floppies or otherwise.

I know we've discussed this before but the right Google search terms are
eluding me.
Is it possible to get 4 floppy drives onto a PC? If so, how? If I stick
two controllers in the PC and configure one with a different base address
and interrupt (assuming I can find a card that allows me to do this) will
DOS automatically recognize the second controller and extend the drive
letters C: and D: to the drives on that card?
