Lines: 19 This is being posted for a friend, please mail replies to me and I'll pass them on to him. ======================================================================== I just purchased a Sharp PC-4501 laptop computer with one 3.5"/720K floppy drive. I want to remove the 720 drive and install two 1.44mb 3.5" drives. Will the internal floppy controller work? Will I need new device drivers for MSDOS 3.3? Also, is the internal port(s) for the optional monochrome/CGA adaptor cards, etc., equivalent to a standard XT 8bit slot? If it is, I want to make a board to plug into this internal port and run it out the M/CGA case punchout. Has anyone done this? If so, how? Donald O.
