I don't know if this is the solution you were looking for, but I have seen
(BUT HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH) a controller made by:

	Turn Point America
	(702)786-4484

called a "super multi i/o".  FD controller for 360k => 1.44M & 1 (2nd opt)
serial, 1 parallel + 1 game ports, all for around $100.

P.S.
I have been wanting to do the same thing for a while, but I was led to believe
that the 3.5" disks are muck slower than the 5.25".  Can anyone out there tell
me for sure ... and possibly explain why ... thanks
