I intend to add a 3.5" floppy and was wondering if I could use the 1.44 Mb version. I have been told that the 1.44 drive requires a 10 Mhz CPU which is why IBM doesn't put them in the Model 50. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone that has tried this - successfully or otherwise. Thanks -------------------------------------------------------------------- Rich Levitt Bitnet: gg.ral@stanford IR - Data Center Stanford University Stanford, Ca. 94305 --- via UGate v1.6 * Origin: watmath (221/163)
