I'm not sure about the drives you mention, but I just installed a
3.5 drive on an OLD IBM AT (says it will work with XT). It attached
to the second floppy plug from my existing controller card.  I had
to use Setup to reset the configuration.  Since it didn't have 1.44
available, I installed a supplied driver (setup = 1.2 per
directions).  The drive has worked flawlessly.  It's from Procomm
and is called a PC1440.  I believe that is correct. I'm writing
this from home and the information is at work.
