I installed a Toshiba 31/2" disk in a PC's Limited Turbo XT clone.  I removed one
of the 5 1/4" disks and inserted the 3 1/2" in its place.  No special technical
skill were needed as the instructions were clear and all kinds of mounting
adapters and faceplates were included.  You'll need DOS 3.2.

By the way, I bought the disk from Olden Computer (a/k/a Olden Camera) on
6th Avenue in New York City.  They also do mail order; look in one of the
PC mags for an ad.  The price was around $120.
