- A friend has an old Leading Edge D. This is an 8088 machine. He would
- like to replace the old 360K floppy with a 3.5inch 1.44 drive. I can buy
- a controller for less than $40 and a drive for about $55. My sense is that
- this should work. My question is whether there is any limitation in the
- ROM for this old machine.
-
- Since I do not regularly read this group, e-mail responses will be
- appreciated.
-
- Thanks.
