Subject: 8-bit 1.44 Drive Controller (Was: Fancy Font?)
You can buy these new from JDR Microdevices for $28.88. You
have to use this
one as the primary disk controller, but it supports up to
four 360kB, 720kB,
1.2MB or 1.44MB floppy drives.

Anyone know if these can be made to work as 4 drive controllers in Linux?

I own one of these.
I'm sure that they can be made to work as 4 drive controllers in Linux, but
I strongly suspect that the Linux floppy driver may need to be "tweaked" to
understand that it's possible for a controller to support 4 drives. But
from an interface standpoint, the thing is pretty
vanilla flavored--I don't
use the PROM in mine and it functions just fine.
Cheers,
Chuck
