Has anybody out there tried connecting a high capacity (1.2MB) AT floppy
drive to an XT?  I have one and would like to be able to read AT floppies
and also have a larger capacity temporary backup medium.  Can the standard
floppy controller communicate with the AT floppy drive without burning it
or itself out?  If the hardware is compatible, then, I guess, all that I
will need is to write a driver based on the AT's BIOS, is that true?
I appreciate all of the help that might be coming.  Thank you.
