- Hi Netters,
-
- I have an old IBM XT. The problem is that yesterday the 5-1/4" 360K
- floppy died. I would like to replace this bad drive with a 3.5" drive.
- It really doesn't matter to me if it's the 720K or the 1.44MB drive (although
- I can't seem to find a 720K drive anymore). Does anyone have any suggestions,
- ideas, comments, or similar experiences doing this ?? I think someone posted
- a similar question earlier, but I didn't save it since at the time I didn't
- need to replace the drive. Oh, I also have 2 MFM HD drives in the computer.
-
- Please help !!!!
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
