- Many QIC-80 and QIC-40 tape drives (the Colorado Memory Systems Jumbo 250
- and Jumbo 120 for example) come with an extra floppy cable. You connect
- this cable to one of your floppy drives. Essentially, you will have 2
- drives (1 tape, 1 floppy) connected to one floppy controller. You will
- not need another controller if you buy one of these drives.

- I hope this helps...
