I use a Micro Solutions Compaticard on my XT clone.  I run 8",
5.25" DSDD and HD, and 3.5" 1.44 megabyte diskettes on my com-
puter.  I have two floppy disk controllers and 5 floppy drives.
Micro Solutions supplies a device driver, so BIOS support of
the drives is unnecessary.

Most XT clones do not have proper BIOS support for the high
density drives, so be sure you get an updated bios, intelligent
controller, or device driver to load.
