If you've ever wanted to add a high density 1.2 meg, 1.44 meg, or even a high density GoTek drive to a computer that didn't support it, you need to bring your own bios to the party. This card (which be built in many configurations with support for up to 8 floppy drives and a serial port), will give you everything you need.
This project uses Sergey's floppy controller here. github.com/skiselev/monster-fdc
However, if you want to use it as I'm using it, you'll want this version 2.4 of the bios, which can be found here. github.com/skiselev/floppy_bios/raw/8a4d622258a5f1c290f762699a1b8f13d71005e7/floppy_bios.bin
