Cany anybody in netland assist?...
I have an old PC with a 360K floppy drive. I have recently
installed a second 1.44M drive BUT it works correctly at
720K but not at 1.44M. The controller is a Z0765A08PSC
which I now understand does not handle the high density
drives. Does anybody know of a pin for pin replacement
that will enable me to use the drive at high density?

I have also heard about an NEC V30 chip that will replaces
the 8086 and improves performance. How is this achieved?
Does the V30 implement instruction caching or pipelining -
how?

Thanks in advance
