- Nope. No Floppy support on the card.

- I also have no affliation with HITECH, but have recently purchased a
- SCSI drive and the aforementioned FD1660 Controller. Just for the
- sake of accuracy, it may be an OEM card but on system bootup the FD
- Bios is present! It works just fine with all my software, and even
- handles Win3.1 32 bit fast disk addressing. I am also able to run my
- system at 13.33Mhz without a problem!
-
- The only drawback is the transfer rate: @ 900KB/s. You can reach
- HITECH at (800)922-2554. Their prices are "scary" low, but their
- service is impressive and they have earned my trust despite initial
- apprehensions.
-
- Just thought you should know.
