Is it possible a floppy disk by Arduino on Gigatron?

hi all,
I was looking at the David Hansel's project (https://github.com/dhansel/ArduinoFDC) about to drive a floppy disk from an Arduino (various flavors) and I was wondering if there's a way to hook up a floppy disk drive to the Gigatron. Since the David's project uses the same pins used by Babelfish, I suppose another board should to be used (as far as either Babelfish or the David's sketch can be redirected on the analog input pins); also because, maybe, the Uno memory isn't enough to store both Babelfish and the FDD libraries.
Unfortunately I must to admit I haven't the skill to do that, but just in case anybody here was wondering a more vintage way to save and read from any (still to be developed) Gigatron program...
