I have a old IBM-PC Portable (no, not the laptop convertable,
the full size pc in a one piece case) ((go on, finish laughing
at me before you read on, I was young when I bought it)).
Actually, other than the small ugly screen, it has been a very
satisfactory home computer.
For those of you unfamiliar with this machine, it consists of
a ~8" composite monitor, two 360 K floppy drives and a
modified XT motherboard.
Since most of the programs I use nowadays have outgrown the
360 K a: drive and I don't really want to invest the money for
a hard disk and controller in this old machine, I was thinking
I could add a 1.2 Mbyte floppy drive in the A: drive.
I am using DOS 3.2 so that shouldn't be a problem, but will
the floppy controller, the bios or something else cause me a
problem?
Thanks in advance,
Greg
