Lines: 12 Today's New York Times reports that there will be a new line of Hard- cards sometime next month. They will be _very_ fast (9 ms.) and one of them, the II-XL 105, will have 2.5 the storage capacity of my aging Miniscribe (which in 1985 was considered one of the best and fastest available). Question: Can I install such a card as a C: drive? Question: If I can, can I reconfigure my present drive as D:? I'm running a Sperry IT, basically a Mitsubishi 286. Advice welcome. N. Miller
