[comp.sys.tandy] Replacement of 360K drive B: with 720K 3.5"

v272gxcv@ubvmsa.cc.buffalo.edu (Peter C Bosch) (09/29/90)

	I replaced my 5.25 with a 3.5 years ago, and have had only two problems 
that you ought to be aware of: 

	...I did a straight one-for-one swap-out of the drives.  I did, 
however, have to manufacture a cable, as the 360's have the card-edge 
connector, and the 720's have the pin-hole (AMP?) connectors.  Most 3.5's 
now come with the requisite adapter, so this is no longer a problem.  
Secondly, if all you want to do is read an already formatted disk in drive 
b:, (the 720, and an unlikely scenario), then you can do that with no 
alterations.  However, if you want to format a disk in drive b:,  you'll 
have to use a driver, called Driver.Sys.  The line in your config.sys file 
will probably look like:

		device = driver.sys /d:1 /f:2
	

	After these two problems are resolved, you're good to go.
