I need some help in determining whether it is feasible to install a 3.5" - 1.44MB floppy disk drive in an old (1985 BIOS, 6 Mhz) True Blue AT. I would like to have it installed as drive B with a 1.2MB drive as Drive A. I can get my hands on a TEAC FD-235HF-117. Can it be made to work with this old of a AT? Will the BIOS need to be upgraded? Will it be necessary to upgrade to DOS 3.3 OR higher? I have heard about a Bastech SW utility that works with a the Toshiba ND-356 3.5" FD. Can this Software be used with the the TEAC drive? Does DOS 3.3 or 4.01 have a software driver that can be used with the old AT BIOS? I have an Ariel Speedinjector installed to take this old beast up to 8+ Mhz. Will this cause a problem? I need all the help I can get an and all advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
