Subject: fdc prog on a PC - which disk controller ICs work?

Hi all,

I tried my various spare PC motherboards a while back and despite them
all being from different eras, none of them seemed to want to read or
write BBC disks using the FDC program.

However I just unearthed a tiny ISA card with a UM8397 floppy disk
controller IC on it... any ideas if this'll work? Reason I ask is that
I'm going to have to build a whole new machine out of spares just to try
it, so I'd rather know it was going to work first :-)

cheers

Jules
