This is a resubmission of a message that I believe never made it past
the teklabs 11/70:
IBM has just released version 1.1 of MSDOS (PC DOS) with support for
double sided disk drives. I am going to buy the minimum IBM PC and add
my own disk drives. The recommended single sided disk drive for
version 1.0 of MSDOS was the Tandon drive. I have read that the double
sided Tandon drive causes excessive media and head wear. I have also
read rumors that IBM is switching to another brand of double sided
drive. Since I plan to buy my system very soon, can anyone tell me the
recommended double sided drive for version 1.1 of MSDOS on the IBM PC?
