I just got a Toshiba 5200/100.  Nice machine, but I've still got a lot
of software on 5 1/4" disks, both 360k and 1/2MB.  I'm told that Toshiba
doesn't support 1.2MB disks connected to the 5200 -- is this true?  I would
really like to find a (possibly third-party) way of hooking up such a drive...

Thanks in advance,
