Dual floppy drive

I recently got one of those combo drives -- the one with both a
5.25" and a 3.5" floppy built in. It is the Teac FD505... I
currently have a Teac FD-55GFV (RX33) on my RQDX3 at home... is
anyone familiar with the two drives? Can I replace eht RX33 with
the combo drive and get it to work? I've already tried simply
using it as distributed... and the controller (sorry, its the
RQZX1 controller, not RQDX3) sees the two drives. But when I
try to access either, they get directory read errors on disks I
know should work...

Any help appreciated...
