Those "NEW" ones (it's all relative) have a lot fewer problems.  The
"flash blindness" after index is much shorter.  Also, some of them have
single density support enabled.   The original 765 based IBM disk
controller has hard wired for Double Density.  Some of the later ones,
such as the 37C65 can be switched in software.  Unfortunately, some new
machines have very demented BIOS, and in some cases won't even support a
second floppy.
