I have asked a local computer store if it is possible to add a 1.2 MB
floppy drive to an IBM PC/XT (actually, it's an IBM PC Portable, which
has the XT motherboard).  After about a month they tell me this is not
possible.  I'm aware that I'll have to get a different controller card,
but surely there is a 1.2MB floppy controller for the PC bus.  Does
anyone have a high density floppy in an XT, and if so can you recommend a
controller?
