Pretty much the only real option now is to have someone refurbish/align the existing drive if you can't adapt a PC-compatible drive. Even 1.44MB 3.5" drives that could be adapted via jumpers to work in an application that used a non-PC 720K 3.5" drives have become incredibly scarce (out of the dozen+ that I had on my spares shelf, I only had /one/ drive that worked properly after cleaning and testing, the rest seem to all need an alignment). The reason this has happened is because so many people treated these drives as commodity parts (I'm looking at you, Amiga community) and tossed out drives that only needed minor mechanical work and/or a head alignment. This is especially true with 3.5" drives and I'm currently working on setting up something where I can align 3.5" drives because I can't find anyone else who still does it.
