I just received a care pkg from a friend.  In it was a HD 5.25 and a HD 3.5
drive.  I have a 6300 with 1.43 BIOS running DOS5.  Using the drivparm
statement in my config.sys, I got the computer to recognize the 3.5 as a
720, but not as a 1.44.  I couldn't get it to read the 1.2 at all.  Any
clues on switches I might need to change on the MB, or anything else that
I need to do to get this to work?  Note for all of you *not* familiar with
the AT&T 6300; it's a bastard machine, and it doesn't  set like
another 'off the shelf' PC, hence most suggestions borrowed from non-AT&T
machines don't work..  What I'm looking for is answers from folks familiar
with AT&T hardware in particular.  Thanx..
