[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Add-on 5.25" inch drives for PS/2 Model 50

hrh@well.UUCP (Harry Henderson) (11/17/88)

I am thinking of adding an external 5.25" drive to my PS/2 
Model 50. Desired features are:
1) can be connected to existing floppy controller, rather 
   than taking up an expansion slot (though I'd consider
   the latter if the drive is otherwise suitable)
2) able to set it to be boot drive / drive A: (needed for
    some games with brain-damaged copy protection schemes)
3) able to read/write both 360K and 1.2MB disks (the
   1.2MB capacity is optional, but if it exists, the 
   ability to read/write 360K drives must also be
   present)
4) Cost $300 or less (less is better, of course--the IBM
   drive is something like $350 I believe)

   PLease use email; I will post a summary to the net if
I receive any substantial information or recomendations.
