I had posted this query a while back and didn't get any responses,
probably because everyone was away for the holidays...

I am looking for an external 3-1/2" drive for XT's and AT's (1.44Meg)
that does not have the hardware check for the extra hole (notch) on
the floppy disk.  The 3-1/2" disk drives on the PS/2's do not perform
this check, but IBM no longer manufactures 3-1/2" 1.44M external
drives (This is what the local IBM dealer told me).

Since we are a support organization it is esssential that we be able
to read our PS/2 user's disks on our XT's and AT's.

Any information will be gladly accepted.

Thanks
