Subject: How do I make *OLD* AT know about 3.5" drives?

I have an old 6MHz original AT at work and want to know how I
can update the CMOS so that it knows about 3.5" drives.  It
appears that these drives were not around when the AT was first
made and therefore not included in the setup program.

For now, I have told the machine that I have a 1.2 MB 5.25 drive,
and it appears to read and write 3.5 media just fine.  However,
Norton Format (ver 4.5) seems to always think there is a 5.25
drive there.  Certainly, I can't blame it.

So, is there some program out there I can use to program the CMOS
so that Norton Format will know about the 3.5 drive?

Thanks in advance.
