If you are starting from scratch with a controller card and 2K/XP, all you need is the driver on floppy, setup will prompt you to press F6 to install an additional mass storage device driver, and it will then ask for the floppy.

If you don't need DVD or CD burning support in the 700, just put the DVD and burner in the 1.2 and the CD drive in the 700. You won't need a card. If you are going to be doing a lot of "on the fly" copying, slave the DVD or the burner to the hard drive.
