I have been thinking about this when I saw an add of TEAC
describing a SCSI bridge controller for standard AT floppy
drives and floppy drives with embedded SCSI controllers.

I don't really need more then 2 drives, but I would like
them to be faster then the regular drives with the ISC
floppy driver ( we have to write LOTS of floppies)
and I would also welcome parallel operation of two floppies.

But I suspect there will be problems reading and writing 
DOS file structures. The ISC dossette utility has device
name hard-coded into it (unlike the SCO dos utilities).
The drive will probably present itself as a SCSI
tape unit, so lacking a block device, mount -f DOS
will not succeed either.

In fact, it may not work at all, as I have not tried anything.
Maybe someone has?
