What I have done with Irwin tape drives is to put  a  switch
on  the Irwin and floppy select jumper lines.  The switch in
one position will select the floppy and in the other it will
select  the tape drive.  It worked nicely.  Now all you have
to do is figure how to plug three drives into a  data  cable
made for two :-).
