Does anyone have any experience with a ROM chip called FiXT,
manufactured by Golden Bow Systems?  It is supposed to allow hard-disk
boot capability for non-IBM hard disk drives.  I am particularly
interested in comments from anyone who is using this product with a 
Davong 5 Meg external hard disk.
Specifically, does it work?  What exactly does it do?  To what
extent will software think that it is being installed on an XT?
Can I use DOS 2.x commands without modifications?

Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks.
