I'm using one of those dual-floppy drives and a Connor QIC-Wide 420MB   
tape drive off my floppy controller, and all work just fine with no   
special mods needed.  I'm using the 1.3.68 kernel with ftape (is it 2.06?   
I forget).  The normal two-floppy cable installs with the dual drive   
plugged into the end that's traditionally the A: socket, and the B:   
connecter plugged into the tape drive (at least in my case).

Hope this helps!
