[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] IDE drive for XT?

alt@cbnewsd.att.com (art.l.todesco) (05/26/91)

I have an AT&T 6300 and was wondering if you could use an IDE hard drive.  Two
problems comes to mind: the 6300 has a floppy controller on the motherboard
that others have had trouble disabling and is the IDE 16 bits only, or does it
switch to 8 for XTs.
Thanks,
