[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] 1.44 Meg Floppy in IBM AT, drivparm

After lots of frustration with a 1.44 in a psuedo-clone, I called
Microsoft tech support.  They said (as Terje noted) that while MS-DOS
3.30 supports 1.44 drives, the BIOS must also support the drive.  They
also said that drivparm was "a broken feature".  I asked again.  "Broken
feature.  It was a feature, but it doesn't work, so it's broken." :)
This was early '88.
