I have another syntax question regarding the CONFIG.SYS file.  I would
appreciate if some one could offer their wisdom.

I have a good ole' fashion IBM-XT (genuine), to which I have added a 700k 
3 1/2" floppy drive.  In order to get DOS to recognize the drive I had to put
a line in the CONFIG.SYS file.  Unfortunately, the file inadvertantely was
unrecoverably erased and I don't have the drive's documentation.  Would
anyone happen to know the required line that needs to be inserted into the
file?

Thanks for the help.
