You can use a standard 1.44 meg PC floppy drive however you will need to connect it to an ISA PC floppy controller. Use of an Amiga floppy for both the Bridgeboard and Amiga sides is also possible. You will need an Amiga specific floppy and different cabling to set this up. The ISA floppy/controller setup will be more reliable and faster.  I'm sure one of us can provide more exact specifics if you need additional help.

Good Luck

An ISA floppy drive controller...... now there is a tough find I would think, but maybe I am wrong.  Glad I was able to find the floppy controller chip for my GoldenGate, now if I could just find more time to get my 486slc w/doubler Cyrix chip to work.

Edit:  Good luck using your 286 Bridgeboard, the fellow user responsible for showing me my first Amiga had an A2000 with one installed in it and all I heard him say about it were four word expletives that can't be repeated on this family friendly forum.  :lol:
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
