I just installed a 3 1/2 inch drive on my AT&T PC6300 in location B.  Then
I found that for it to run successfully under MS-DOS 2.11 I need a "third
party software driver".  The store that sold me the drive did not
know where to get one.  Does anyone?  

The store wants me to go to MS-DOS 3.2 which I may have to do but I want
to avoid for two reasons.  (1) I use two other PCs which are on 2.11 and I
want to keep all PCs on the same standard which will have to be 2.11.
(2) Migration to 3.2 is is supposed to require that I dump my hard disk,
reformat it, and then restore it, and this is a messy job that I would prefer
to avoid.

Does anyone have a 3 1/2 inch drive working successfully on 2.11?
