Hi.  I just got hold of an old IBM/XT with two 5.25 low density drives.  I'd 
like to add two new drives, perhaps a high density 3.5 and a high density 5.25 
drive.  Somehow, I remember hearing that the high density drives can't be used 
on the older machines.

Could someone confirm this and indicate how high (and why) we can go with these 
older machines?

Thanx a bunch,

--Rob
