Your best bet is to get an new contoller card made for this purpose. They have on board BIOS and DIP switches to define the drive types. A model that replaces the existing XT FDD controller costs ~$20. You can also get models that add 2 additional disks. These are more expensive. DOS 5 works best is you use 3 floppies, it puts the last one at d: instead of c: as in 3.3. These controllers also run 360K and 1.2M. -TC
