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. -Bruce -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- " Bruce Cohen | UUCP: ..ucbvax!ucsfcgl!bic " Computer Graphics Lab | INTERNET: bic@cgl.ucsf.edu " S-926 | BITNET: bic@ucsfcgl
