MT>You can't run a 1.44 mb 3.5" from an XT. The data xfer rate is too

BH> If you examine the logic of your statement you'll probably
find that an XT can't run a hard drive either, because the
transfer rate capabilities are too low. We all know that this
is not so. You'd probably be hard pressed to interface a fast
I/O device on the parallel port of an XT since transfer rates
from there can exceed many hard drive capabilities. You simply
must use a controller that can handle the drive.
