The drive will do it, but not without a special software driver.  I believe
it costs around $400.  Perhaps someone out there on the net knows the
name and vendor from whom the utility can be purchased ????

Though the 7300 has IBM disk drivers built in to the system software, the
3B2 unfortunately does not.  So, we've no option but to get some sort of
utility.
