I'm in the process of setting up a 386 machine to run MS-DOS and
Xenix. I plan to use the following disk drive setup:

western digital controller(controls 2 floppies and 2 hard disks)
  can't remember model #.

seagate model 4096(something like that) 80Mb hard disk for xenix

30-40 Mb hard disk for ms-dos

1.2 Mb 5 1/4 floppy

1.44 Mb 3 1/2 floppy

My questions are:

1) will there be any problems handling the hard disks/ controller
   for dos or xenix?
2) will the 1.2 Mb floppy read/write/format 360K disks?
3) will the 1.44 Mb drive read/write/format 720K floppies?

Any help would be appreciated. I have my reasons for this setup.
I may change it depending on the answers of the above questions.
