[comp.periphs] Help -- Epson Equity I drives

lammens@acsu.buffalo.edu (Joe Lammens) (03/22/91)

I bought a used Epson Equity I pc for my girlfriend's birthday, Real Soon
Now.  The thing has two 5.25" floppy drives, and I want to replace one or
both with 3.5". But all service departments I called say it cannot be done.
It has a non-standard disk interface, with the controller built into the
main board.

My questions:

- does anybody know how to replace the 5.25 drives with 3.5 drives?

- has anybody done so

- could I use a standard fd controller with 3.5 in drives, or would that
conflict with the one built into the main board?

Please reply by mail. Thanks.
