I had an ibm-type disk drive which I have cabled to my Rainbow floppy controller
and lo-and-behold it seems to run.  I have yet to modify any bios's or write
any software to access it.
        Before I go too far into hacker-land, has anyone written a simple
program to read/write to 360K diskettes?  A standalone program shouldn't
violate any copyrights and would be very useful.
