[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Putting high-density 5.25" floppy drives on an XT clone.

drk@athena.mit.edu (David R Kohr) (09/26/89)

Someone here at Lincoln is trying to get high-density (1.2 Mb.) floppy
drives to work on an XT clone, but hasn't had any luck so far.  Does
anyone know how to go about this?  (He's already modified his BIOS
so that it can recognize the drives, but I think he's having trouble
with getting the controller to actually treat the drives as high-
instead of double-density.)  If someone has experience with this,
and is willing to help out, I could furnish more information about
the specific problem in a separate e-mail message.

Thanks,
