IIRC 37C65
definitely NOT a big deal.
Also, National 8477, Intel 82077 (but not the AA-1; those will read, but
not write FM); even the Intel 820781 should be okay for FM reading
(depending on software, may require an oscillator change).
Other non-compaticards that work just fine are the Sysgen Omnibridge; and
the WD1002A-FOX.
The add-in cards with the National DP8473 controllers are very nice. Not
only do they read and write FM, but they'll also read and write 128 byte
MFM sectors just fine.
