And if you can find one.  (I still have one in my closet... need to
find an old PC to stick it in one of these days.)

So, My FC5025 arrived today.  I was only expecting the bare board - I
was pleasantly surprised to get a USB cable and a floppy drive cable
as well in the package, along with a CD of software.  How quaint!
I'll need to wait for a suitable 1.2MB drive to materialize now.

On the "flippy" issue - I emailed Adam at Device Side, and he said the
TEAC he tested with didn't work without the index hole on the other
side.
