Close, I use an 8" drive on a 5.25" controller (both running as high
density, i.e. 1.2 MB).

The difference that I know of, is that 3.5" drives use different
pull-up resistors (1 KOhm for 3.5", 300Ohm for 8" ??). This means that
you might not get away with quite the same length of cable.. .
Other than that, it should be a breeze (given that you can figure out the
settings of the dip-switches).
