Not exactly an answer to the Compaticard IV four floppy controller
question, but an additional question. Do the floppy controllers on
AT-type HD/FD controllers utilize all 16 bits of the bus, or only
8-bits? Second, do the separate four-floppy controllers, when used
in AT's, use only 8-bit bus width? If so, is the additional speed of
AT floppy controllers merely due to the increased clock rate.
