[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Can I get a 3.5" PS/2 drive to work on an old XT?

I have a 720K 3.5" drive that came from a PS/2 and I want to try to get it 
to work in an old XT.  Is this possible?  I understand that the later 
versions of DOS will recognize the 3.5" drive but I'm not sure about the 
connections to the drive itself.  The edge connector is wider than the one 
on a normal 5.25" drive and, conspicuous by it's absence, is the power 
connector.

Sorry if this is a FAQ that has already been thrashed to death, but I haven't
been reading this group lately.  Any help would be appreciated.
