Has anyone successfully installed a 1.44MB 3.5" floppy into an XT class
computer?  I suspect it is possible with a controller designed to run
a 1.2 MB flopper for the XT and one of the new drives and maybe DOS 3.2,
but I havent heard of any success yet.   This hardware would cost about
$195 here in Silicon Valley.
