We have an old Compaq luggable (8088) whose floppy drive is dying.  Does
anyone know how much grief, aggravation, and bucks would be required to
put in a 1.2 meg drive?  THe controller would have to be changed, of course,
and I expect a bios upgrade too.  Anyone know?  Email replies; I'll summarize.

Thanks.
