However, I'll admit that it's a crapshoot... you'd want to make sure that
the mobo supports what you want to do. ;-) I'm also *not* going to say that
WindersXP will actually support it, as you *might* have to disable
Plug-N-Pray to get it to work.

I've never seen a PCI card that had a floppy
interface on it. I'm sure
they exist. Not in my junkbox, however, and I don't have the schematic
diagram for them.
And there's a good reason for that. The PCI bus has no access to legacy
8237-type DMA, so legacy driver code would not work on such a beast.
