Hi,
I a have friend that is trying to equippe a number of 4-5 years old IBM AT-2's
with 3.5 inch floppy drives, but he can't get it to work properly. Hardware
installation os OK, but he can't format HD diskettes to 1.44 MB only to 740 kB.
The machines are running PC-DOS 3.30. He says that there's apparently a
limitation in the BIOS of these machines. Does anyone have a clue on how to
get around this problem?

Thanks in advance,
