Is it possible to replace 720KB drives in a 8088 based laptop with
1.44 MB drives? I don't need anything more powerful than a 8088, but
do need the capacity of the 1.44MB drives but cannot afford the additional
cost of a 20MB hard drive (I am student). I also can't seem to find a
8088 based laptop with 2 - 1.44MB drives.
Are there any considerations about power requirements ? Will the floppy
controller(s) need to be replaced (I assume so, unless they are on the
drives)? Eventually when I have the money, will I be able to pull out
a floppy and put in a hard drive?
Any help will be appreciated? Please e-mail replies. I will summarize if there
is enough interest.
