- How? (I have the CD, but, alas, an unsupported CD ROM drive)
-
- I.e., is it a simple trick that you can share, or do I really need
- to buy the $7 book from IBM to find out how to do it?
-
- Also, is there any way to install from 5.25" diskettes onto a machine
- where the A: drive is 3.5"? I'm assuming the answer is no - just checking.
- (There is something on hobbes that allows you to do it the other way -
- install from 3.5" onto a 5.25" A: drive)
- And of course, you can switch the cables, but that's not a solution -
- it's a workaround...
