More than two floppy drives?

My Everex Step 386/20 has three floppy drives installed: 1.2 MB, 360 KB, and
720 KB.  The first two are 5.25 inch drives, the last one is a 3.5 inch drive.
Currently, the 360 KB drive is disconnected, as the WD1007A ESDI disk con-
troller installed supports only two floppy drives.

Question: can I install an additional floppy controller to connect the 360 KB
drive (and perhaps a tape drive, someday, for backups)?

Question: Ok, wiseguy, I know I can plug it it in, but will it work in MS-DOS?

Question: Will it work in Xenix?

Question: And what about ... Naomi ?  (If you are over 30 years of age or
didn't watch TV as a kid, ignore this.)

Since this is of restricted interest, e-mail to me is probably more appro-
priate than replying to the network.  If you would like a copy of the replies,
I'll be happy to oblige.

Thank you.
