You can get an MCT 4-Drive Floppy Controller (MCT-FDC-HD4 $29.99) from JDR
Microdevices (
http://www.jdr.com/interact/item.asp?itemno=MCT-FDC-HD4). Only
problem is that it must be the primary floppy controller, so you will need
to pull the existing floppy controller card.

2) Locate a high-density
8-bit floppy controller and use 1.44Mb disks. I have one - it has its own
BIOS to handle the differences. They would be difficult to locate now, so
unless you already have one, it's probably not a good solution.
