*You can't run a 1.44 mb 3.5" from an XT.  The data xfer rate is too
slow.  You can run a 720.*

This is nonsense!  I've been running a 1.44 mb 3.5" external drive on
my XT for 6 months (with DOS 3.2).  Megamate, sold by Blue Heron, DeKalb
Illinois, fits the bill, comes with driver and software.  No problem at
all.
