I remember having seen references to replacing the floppie
drive in a 7300 with a 3.5" 720K drive. Checking back through postings
found only a cryptic message whose poster doesn't now remember
the details, only that someone did do it.
I am trying to do it, without much success - basically
the only way i've tried so far is using iv - and trying to modify
the description tables in /usr/lib/iv. I don't know the format of these
tables - certain parts are obvious, the hardware connection seems
straightforeward, but, alas, something is lacking...
So, anybody that knows, please let me know.
thanks in advance.
