Hi, Is it possible to use a 3.5 disk drive as drive A or B on the XT with an regular controller? I can configure it as drive C or higher but not drive A or B. I use DOS 3.2. Any help?

Any help? If it is a 730K 3.5" drive then you should be able to set it up as drive B: You will probably have trouble getting it to run at 1.4M though, and I don't think that it can be run as drive a: Your config.sys will need the line DRIVPARM= /D:1 /F:2 for MS-DOS 3.2, or DRIVPARM=^A^A^A /D:1 /F:2 for DOS 3.3. where ^A means Ctrl-A. The drivparm statement is far preferable to DEVICE=DRIVER.SYS. *WmP* --- ~ DeLuxe 1.11a12 #3744 Support your local Opera
