 HI  WORLD


 I have been given the honour of setting up a lab of
 36 PC's (PC-AT clones) This will be a network based
 on Thin-Ethernet

 My desire is to place a copy of DOS and relevant network software
 onto a bootable floppy that will reside inside the machine without
 allowing the user access to it.

 This means placing the drive in place of the hard disk option in the machines
 (we haven't bought hard disks with them.) 

 So this floppy drive (3 1/2 inch) will need to support the AT i/f of
 a hard disk and will recide as device C:

 My question is this;;;   IS THERE ANY 3" floppy drives with an AT I/f
                          that I can use in this config.

 We will not be running hard disks in these machines and we require both
 A: and B: drives to be accessable.

 Ta Muchly,
